Set up as a Community Benefit Society, it is owned by the community and any profit B4RN makes is fed back to the community.

HOW IS THE NETWORK BUILT
HOW IS THE NETWORK BUILT
B4RN fibre ducting is 16 mm in diameter and where practicable is buried using a minimum-disturbance, mole-plough device, about 45cm deep.
The wayleave mapping has been worked out on the basis of maximising a ‘soft’ dig route, avoiding utility services, water supplies, drainage and in consultation with the neighbouring farming community.
Volunteers, landowners and B4RN staff route walk and organising wayleaves for the fibre ducting.
If you are a land owner and would like to discuss any wayleave questions, arrange a visit or simply have a map drawn up please get in touch with B4RN on their contact form here
