A WORCESTER firm has confirmed that broadband internet access will come to Bromyard in February.

Around 80 businesses and private customers have signed up for the Airband service provided by Worcester company Serv-IT and the first installation date has been set.

A major broadband campaign was launched in the town on Monday by Bromyard mayor Pearl Briggs.

The We Want Broadband project aims to provide broadband access for the whole of Herefordshire, and has European funding to help providers meet installation costs.

Rob King, of Serv-IT, said he hoped to receive some funding from the campaign to install broadband for Bromyard businesses.
