Stage 3 Gigaclear Build Update

3rd January, 2019

As announced in the project’s previous stage 3 build update, Fastershire had requested Gigaclear produce a new deployment plan. A revised deployment plan was received in November 2018 but the plan needs to be refined further including the implications associated with bringing a number of properties that are currently not in any plan, into the contract before the full schedule is published.

Gigaclear have indicated that this process should be complete by the end of January and once received, the deployment plan will need to go through Fastershire’s governance process.  

However, this process is not delaying the rollout which continues at pace, and work has started (or is complete) in 49 cabinet areas, as shown below.

The rollout in these area will be communicated to those benefitting properties through a pre-build letter and information, that is typically received between six-eight weeks prior to the build start.
