This week I had a briefing with the Gloucester city manager for the Cityfibre internet project.

This is a national project to invest in our communities and to bring super-fast, fibre broadband to homes and businesses.

Gloucester will be receiving £31 million of investment, with the ultimate result an internet connection being capable of speeds up to 1 gig.

The Fibre Exchange building will be located in the Podsmead area, and Cityfibre will begin connecting up homes in Gloucester early next year.

This is good news for Gloucester and for Podsmead too. Read more about this project here.
