On rural broadband and the need for a roll-out in rural areas, I want to make a point about the way the assessment for need in rural villages is being done. This is being done as a desktop operation. The village of Upperchurch is near me. It is a small rural village where the proposed roll-out excludes the local school and the main employer in the village. There needs to be a physical assessment of what is needed in rural areas before this roll-out happens.
