A question was submitted on notice by a resident to the Leader of the Council, Miles Parkinson, regarding provision of superfast broadband in Rishton.
A Council spokesman said, "Lancashire County Council are leading on the ‘Superfast Lancashire’ project and BT is their contractor for the rollout programme. For the installation of the majority of on-street broadband infrastructure (the green boxes, etc) then BT don’t have to seek our permission they just advise us they are going to do the work and then get on with it."
A website has been set up for residents to check on the status of their superfast broadband availability in their area: www.superfastlancashire.com
The Rishton postcode has been checked and the website is saying the following:
Your area is enabled for Superfast Fibre but your cabinet is not ready yet so you can’t place an order today. It is in our plans to be upgraded and we update this info weekly, so please check back later.
Residents are able to register their interest on the website and get notified when they are accepting orders.
