Digital Upgrade

In our last Newsletter we informed you about some of the changes that are on the horizon for the telecommunications industry. As part of our digital upgrade schedule we have commenced installing the new generation IP units for our clients. This is a phased operation and as we work our way through each of our service areas, we will be contacting you to arrange installation of this new equipment.

We are looking at completing this over the next few years. During this time, your existing equipment will continue to work, and be maintained by us, ensuring that none of you will be without Lifeline support at any time.

Occasionally Harborough District Council’s finance team are required to contact you to discuss elements of your account.
