MP Harriett Baldwin has welcomed a Christmas boost to local high-tech businesses, with the switch-on of a new broadband equipment cabinet.

The cabinet, serving businesses at the Enigma Business Park in Malvern Link, is now connected to superfast broadband, allowing workers access to high-speed internet connections.

Mrs Baldwin said: “I have been quizzed for some time by local businesses about the delivery of superfast broadband to parts of Enigma Business Park so this latest cabinet connection will make a huge difference.

“Fast broadband is increasingly being seen as an essential service, and small and medium-sized businesses will now be able to access the internet faster than ever before.

“There is still much work to do in rural areas to make sure every home and businesses is able to get superfast up- and download speeds and I will continue to push for solutions to deliver this aspiration as quickly as possible.”
