Local AM Paul Davies called for action from the Welsh Government over broadband services in Pembrokeshire. The Welsh Government has pledged £12.9 million of funding to reach the few per cent of premises that do not currently have access to an adequate broadband service. Mr Davies also questioned whether the Welsh Government had sufficient penalties at their disposal if the work is not carried out in a timely and appropriate manner.
Mr Davies said: “I’m pleased that the Welsh Government has brought forward a statement on the roll-out of Superfast broadband in Wales and whilst I acknowledge that progress has been made in some areas of Wales, in other areas, progress has been painfully slow. It’s important that BT Openreach are also monitored robustly and that the services that are promised, are now delivered. I will be writing to the Minister about specific issues in Pembrokeshire and I look forward to hearing more about the Welsh Government’s timetable for work in the local area.”
