I wonder if it’s the Government’s intention to bring forward a debate in Government time on the issue of broadband for Welsh communities, and specifically the Superfast Cymru programme. Many questions have been asked of the First Minister during questions, and, had the Llywydd been patient, I think every one of us could have asked a question about communities that are having difficulty at the moment in accessing Superfast Cymru.

The most recent example I’ve seen in my region is a u-turn by BT in providing broadband for Llanymawddwy. There was a meeting last June with the MP, Liz Saville-Roberts, in attendance, when a pledge was made that Superfast Cymru would come to Llanymawddwy. BT have now u-turned. It’s the first time that I have seen a complete u-turn; there have been delays and reprogramming, but not a full u-turn, saying that broadband won’t be available for this village, despite the pledges made in the past.

For people who consider that remote places are too far away to have modern technology, this happens to be where the first colour film was made ever in Wales. So, we should perhaps rethink where creativity and new technology starts in Wales. Of course, the subject of that film was the red bandits of Mawddwy. So, unless you want a revolt in the hills of Montgomeryshire, it may be time to look at this again in a debate in Government time for us all to understand where Superfast Cymru is going and whether it is keeping the pledges that have been made to Assembly Members.
