I had a particular difficulty with my own area where one hub was set up and the next nearest one was 25 miles away. Could we do a lot more on this, in view of the fact that there are a lot more people working from home? At the same time they want to get away from home from time to time as well so they can do work that needs a bit of peace and quiet. I do not mean that in the wrong way, but the point is whether we should be more proactive in doing that. What is the plan for the next 12 months on this issue?
