Twenty days after launch, the pledges have reached £404,500. The target that needs to be raised is £937,513 (for the Brightling/Netherfield/Woods Corner project).

If you haven’t already done so, please consider pledging your voucher now. It takes less than 5 minutes.

The sooner we can get to 100% of the target, the sooner the build of the new network can start. (If we don’t get 100% of the target by mid-May, none of it will get built and no-one will benefit).

If you have already pledged, thank you, and there are still ways you can help further:

• if you are a Facebook user, please consider posting a link to our information page. Ditto other social media.
• please spread the word and encourage your neighbours to sign up too.
• please spread the word that this is not a scam. It is an official project, supported by Brightling Parish Council.
• if you have other ideas or would like to help in other ways, please email highwealdsuperfastbroadband@gmail.com
