On September 1, 2025, the Government released draft legislation addressing the validation of past amendments to contracted-out schemes, specifically those made between April 6, 1997, and April 5, 2016, which were previously void due to missing section 37 certificates. Separately, over 12,000 additional homes in Sleaford now have access to gigabit broadband services, thanks to nexfibre's £4.5 billion investment in full-fibre infrastructure. Roadshows are currently underway in Warwickshire to inform residents about the upcoming digital switchover of telephone networks, scheduled for completion by 2027, affecting most providers including Virgin Media. A proposed 20-meter mobile phone mast in Torquay has generated local concerns about potential sinkholes causing collapse, despite supporters citing improvements to phone signal as a benefit.
