RESIDENTS in the Bishops Lydeard telephone exchange area are the latest in Taunton Deane set for high speed internet access.

The Faster Internet campaign collected the necessary 500 signatures of interest - the highest trigger level in the district - to secure Broadband.

BT is expected to start upgrading the exchange in the next few weeks.

David Peilow, of Faster Internet for Somerset, said Blagdon Hill, also covering Pitminster and Corfe, was the next target for Broadband following successful campaigns in Henlade, Wiveliscombe and other areas.
