EGLWYSWRW is a village “split in two” by its broadband availability, according to Preseli MP Stephen Crabb.

While most of the village now receives a high-speed broadband connection, there remains a number of households and businesses on the edge of the village who are “locked out”.

This comes following a meeting between Stephen Crabb and some businesses in the village, which have been quoted a price of more than £100,000 by Openreach to supply superfast broadband.

This is despite the new fibre passing very close to their premises along the A487 road.

And now Mr Crabb has taken the case to Welsh Government in a bid to connect the whole community to an acceptable level of service.

“Eglwyswrw is a village split in two with some having excellent broadband and others having terrible speeds or locked out altogether," he said.

“The quote these businesses were given is unacceptable especially considering that the Welsh Government paid for superfast broadband to go to Castell Henllys from Eglwyswrw, passing the businesses in question.

“I have written to Ken Skates AM, Welsh Economy Minister to ask why these businesses were missed out and if they can be brought up to speed with superfast broadband.

“I will keep fighting to ensure the whole of Pembrokeshire gets the fast internet coverage it deserves.”
