CLWYD South MP Simon Baynes has welcomed plans by Openreach to build full-fibre broadband to Wales’ hardest-to-serve communities, particularly around Denbighshire and Wrexham. Openreach have recently announced that a total of 140 exchanges across Wales will be upgraded, with rural homes set to benefit the most. In Clwyd South, the exchanges in Corwen, Llangollen and Ruabon will be upgraded, enabling access to full fibre broadband many more homes and businesses. Openreach’s build plan forms part of the UK Government’s target of delivering ‘gigabit capable broadband’ to 85 per cent of the United Kingdom by 2025. This is in conjunction with the UK Government’s commitment to reform the Electronic Communications Code, allowing providers access to rural land more easily to enable build to progress at pace.

I am honoured to have been returned as Member of the Senedd for Clwyd South on May 7, and would like to start my first column since the election by thanking everyone who supported me and put their continued faith in a Welsh Labour Government led by First Minister Mark Drakeford.
