It comes after a new broadband cabinet was installed outside the Christian Science Society in Coleham, but the church complained that it blocked its noticeboard and asked for it to be removed.

The cabinet was removed days later and then residents complained that Coleham is one of the few areas in town waiting for fibre broadband to be enabled.

Jacky Sinclair, chairwoman of the Christian Science Society board, said they were keen for fast broadband to be available for residents, but the information box was impossible to reach behind the cabinet.
