The Oak Tree Housing Association, which provides social housing across parts of Inverclyde in Scotland and owns 1,960 homes, has reached a new access agreement (wayleave) with Openreach (BT). The deal will enable the operator to extend their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP network across numerous buildings in the town of Greenock.
According to the announcement, the partnership will work to deploy their new full fibre network into around 400 flats across 39 buildings in the town. The properties will join some 11,000 other homes and businesses in Greenock that have already gained access to the same network.
A spokesperson for Oak Tree Housing Association said: “We were pleased to work with Openreach to enable the installation of broadband infrastructure across our properties. By making this available at residents’ front doors, we are giving tenants and owners more choice and flexibility in how they connect to digital services. Supporting improved digital access is one of the ways we can help our communities to thrive.”
