The retired magistrate wants to know how much of the £24m of taxpayers’ money is left and when will residents get their improved broadband.
“I am really concerned about the financial aspect, we’ve got a roll of expensive cable here, what happens next”, he said.
At home, Mr Walters said his own broadband speed was about 30 Mbps (megabits per second), but it drops at certain times of the day.
“People who are working from home are disadvantaged, because of unreliability and slow speed. We all thought we were going to have superfast speeds, what happened?”
Local Liberal Democrat MP Helen Morgan said the state of the poles summed up the situation with Project Gigabit and called for an explanation as to how many of the contracts were handed out to companies “who were unable to complete them”.
“A new contractor is urgently needed to deliver the fast internet connections our communities need – and the poles need to be put to use or removed ASAP,” she said.
