CAMPAIGN

Better quality and higher speed broadband services can transform communities and Priti has successfully campaigned to secure millions of pounds of Government investment in broadband services in Essex.

Families and businesses are benefiting from the upgraded service and Priti will continue to campaign for investment in local digital infrastructure.
