TV coverage must be sorted and welcomes TV Reception support event for Thanet – 18th November

Laura Sandys MP has been campaigning for many months to secure better TV coverage for all our households across Thanet.  “I have been working closely with Digital UK in the countdown to the digital switchover and today can confirm that there will be a drop-in advice clinic on 18^th November for all constituents who are plagued by awful TV reception.

“The Government knows that we have particularly bad coverage following an adjournment debate that I held several months ago.  I even threatened to make the Minister watch the Olympics from Thanet if our reception was not sorted out.  Following this we have commitment from all the authorities responsible for TV and Digital coverage to address the specific areas where reception is extremely bad.  

Poor TV reception is a major issue for local residents and it is crucial that support is in place so that our TV screens do not go dark following switchover. I would urge anyone with TV reception problems to get in touch with me so that the right assistance can be put in place and we can ensure that the authorities have the right information about our predicament .’

The time and location of the drop-in advice clinic will be advertised shortly and Laura will be directly contacting all those who have been in touch with her with full details of the location of the Digital UK event.

If you know of anyone with a problem please ensure that they contact us onlaura.sandys.mp@parliament.uk or through our website www.telllaura.org.uk
