The FTTP Rollout for the ‘Gainshare’ Project is now completed and over 30 properties have been connected, with others able to order when they wish to change Internet connection.

The Government funding scheme has been modified, been paused and then renamed with different criteria. It is hoped that the rest of the Parish will come under a new Devon ‘lot’ fund which is due to be release some time after June 2024. We will continue to monitor the release and bid for more money if and when it becomes available.

As at 30 Jan 2023:

The FTTP Rollout for the areas north of the Chittlehamholt War Memorial and east of Swingate Cross is progressing under the Satterleigh and Warkleigh ‘Gainshare’ FTTP Project.

At present properties from Swingate Cross down to Warkleigh House and along the Satterleigh road can order FTTP. Satterleigh from Hilltown Cross down to Meethe Gate and onto Meethe Barton are being connected and should be able to order in March \ April 2023.

The Watertons and along the B3226 southwards are also being connected and should be able to order by April 2023.

This FTTP project allows you to order through any Internet Service Provider once activated so do shop around for the best option for your situation.

The Community Fibre Project for the areas south of the Chittlehamholt War Memorial and west of Swingate Cross is ‘on hold’ until the Satterleigh and Warkleigh ‘Gainshare’ FTTP rollout is completed. This is so that fibre installed by that project can be extended into the Community project area at a reduced cost.

The GainShare project was due to complete by the end of 2021, but we have just been advised that due to survey errors there is a 6 month delay in the project, for which OpenReach have apologised.

We will keep updates flowing on this site and as soon as fibre starts to be laid we will contact all the properties in Satterleigh and Warkleigh, east of Swingate Cross, to confirm the situation.

As at 26 February 2021:

A total of 84 properties signed up to the project and the list was submitted to BTOpenReach at the start of January.

The project was aware that there were other BT and Devon County fibre activities in the area and this was confirmed when BTOpenReach advised that some of our applicants may be included in other works.

At present we are in the design and costing phase and the next step is receiving the pricing from the BTOpenReach VFP co-ordinator.

As at 17 November 2020:

We now have Chittlehamholt (Cabinet 2) included in the project and have a total of £150,000 in grant registration funding.

Current registrations by postcode are shown below, let’s push on to get 100% across the board as the project will close to registrations on 31 November 2020.

As at 18 September 2020:

We now have over £60,000 in grant funding registrations and thanks to everyone who has registered.

However, we still have many properties who have not yet registered, and this is the chance to get grant funding to complete the installation.

After this project is completed, properties will need to ‘pay their own way’ to get a fibre connection, at some significant cost.

The registrations by post code are shown below, and further activity will be coming to encourage 100% registration across the board.
