What a year it has been for Fibre GarDen, it's Members and helpers, a big thank you to everyone, past and present, who have helped to move the project forward to where it is today.
Some of the biggest steps have been taken in the last month or so having now published our State Aid Notice; our Invitation to Tender will be ready to be published on the 1st February following the end of the Sate Aid Notice period and our Share Offer document is now drafted and ready for scrutiny by our lawyers and accountants before publication.
We secured additional resources for the project by engaging Mark Jameson who has worked on the Invitation to Tender with John Colton, and Tom Woof who is working (even over the seasonal break) with Andrew Fleck; our Land Agents and Garsdale Design on securing all the required wayleave agreements.
We are very grateful for the continuing support from (to name a few):
- Tim Farron MP
- Kevin Lancaster
- Cumbria County Council
- South Lakeland District Council
- Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale Neighbourhood Forum
- Dent Parish Council
- Garsdale Parish Council
- Garsdale Design
- DEFRA
- BDUK
- Yorkshire Dales National Park
- United Utilities
In 2013 we should see all the funding come together and the start of the network build!
