Improving Mobile Phone & Broadband

With DCMS Secretary of State, Karen Bradley

In the 21st Century, having fast and reliable means of communication is essential. This is an issue I have been campaigning on for some time now, while there has been significant progress, there is still more to do. This is an absolute priority for me and I will continue to work with Government and industry to push for further improvements to both broadband connectivity and mobile phone reception for Shrewsbury. Updates will be posted.
