Somerset county council has given Gigaclear more time to deliver faster broadband to the county despite a series of “unacceptable” delays. CDS is working closely with the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership to also agree any necessary funding extensions.” The council argued that allowing the company time to prepare proposals to deal with problems was a better option than ending the contract. In its latest report, published on Thursday, the council’s chief executive, David Jones, said it had been unable to complete work because of delays in getting access to gigabit speeds and other issues.
