A deadline for bids to bring faster broadband to rural Oxfordshire has been extended.

Organisations which want to receive cash from the Rural Community Broadband Fund to extend fast services to more rural areas now have until June 17 to apply.

Henley MP John Howell said: “I do not wish to see the process delayed.

“However, I am delighted by this extension of the deadline to submit expressions of interest and which will allow competent bidders to come forward.”
