CONNECTIVITY

One in seven of the UK's working population now works from home and millions more do so part-time. Solutions that encourage this and other family-friendly working practices are at the heart of our long term vision for the town.

We are addressing this growing demand for flexible and home working practices by providing drop-in serviced office accommodation in the town centre, plus cutting-edge telecoms infrastructure and fibre to premises throughout the masterplan area . The town centre area will also be covered by free wifi.

Alongside the freedom to flex your working environment comes the additional benefits of fostering a sense of community, making better use of space and time, taking pressure off transport infrastructure and reducing your carbon footprint.
