100% Fibre Broadband availability in Staining, Blackpool
Rejected

What the petition asks
For a number of years now the people of Staining Village in Blackpool has consistently requested access to fibre broadband in order to benefit from online information, to run a home business, teach children online, communicate with family, setup blogs and news pages but BT just say ‘no sorry’.
Whilst many check for access to fibre everyday the response is always ‘sorry not available’. BT retail and Openreach are well aware of the issue but seem to point blank refuse to update and expand the telephone exchange that services the village.
BT retail are now saying there is nothing they can do and that the only course of action is to raise it with the ombudsman.
Please sign this petition so we can get access to fibre in the village and force BT to do the right thing.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This isn't something that the UK Government or Parliament could do. BT is not a public body.
