Internet signal across both Poulton-le-Fylde and Fleetwood is hopefully set to improve thanks to two new planning applications.

Last week, two different telecommunications notification were submitted to Wyre Council to install seventeen wooden telegraph poles across various sites in Poulton and seven poles at various sites across Larkholme in Fleetwood.

The applications were both submitted by IX Wireless, a telecommunications infrastructure provider whose website states their networks “offer[] broadband to thousands of residential and commercial premises.”

So far the planning applications just include a list of the locations, and a licence notification letter sent to residents, with no drawings depicting the size of the poles yet.

It will be hoped that the addition of new telegraph poles holding broadband wires will improve coverage across the area.
