Update – Hyperfast Broadband Survey

This is an update to the application for introducing hyperfast broadband to the Wilbrahams.  The villages survey has been completed and the results submitted to the Gigabit Voucher Scheme.

We are waiting on the results of our submission and we will let you know as soon as we receive a decision.

The tables below give a breakdown of the responses to the survey from the individual villages .  Overall it was a great response with 35% of households completing the survey.  Generally a response of more that 30% in any survey is considered a very good outcome, so thanks to all the Wilbrahams residents who completed the survey either online or as a paper copy.

 

Summary

	Total Number of Houses	Number of Houses Responded	Percentage (%)
Little Wilbraham	123	49	40
Great Wilbraham	280	92	33

 

If the data is broken down to present a more detailed view, what is surprising is the number of home-based businesses the two village have.

 

	Web Forms	Paper Forms	Private Home	Business
Little Wilbraham	38	11	35	14
Great Wilbraham	70	22	74	18

This means that if all goes well the potential subsidised funds are:

Little Wilbraham – £101,500

Great Wilbraham – £174,000

TOTAL – £275,500
