Welcome

In the last issue of our newsletter, we shared our landlord survey results with you and explained the follow-up actions that we have put in place to address any concerns raised. Continuing to listen to you, we will be introducing a new feedback form that will give you the opportunity to give immediate feedback following site visits throughout the year. Our site auditors will carry them at all times and will leave them with you on site visits. I encourage you to please fill these in and send them to us as this will help improve our service to you. Similarly, please do take a few moments to fill in the landlord survey that we have sent out. We value your feedback.

We were delighted to hear the Queen’s Speech for 2021 referencing the commitment from the Government to improve connectivity and opportunities around the country, including the acceleration of 5G mobile and gigabit broadband rollout. The details referred to the reforms to the Electronic Communications Code, to support faster and more collaborative negotiations for the use of private and public land for telecommunications deployment. It also acknowledged the need to put the right framework in place for the use of installed apparatus. The Government is carefully analysing responses to the recent Code consultation that I mentioned in the last newsletter and we look forward to hearing their proposals, which we anticipate will be published towards the end of the summer.

Supporting the Speed Up Britain campaign, the industry is working together to make it easier to rollout mobile infrastructure for better connectivity across the UK.
