I ask that this aspect be reviewed. I congratulate everybody involved in rolling out fast-tracked connections for schools. Now is the time to do the same for community hubs. Due to the impact of Covid-19 and of having to work from home, some people have been greatly frustrated and experienced many difficulties. Many people with young children now also want to work from home more so they have the associated flexibility. Therefore, I ask that this approach to fast-tracking connections be examined.
