Mims Davies MP meets with Vodafone on lack of Mobile Connectivity in East Grinstead, Uckfield, and the villages

Mims is acutely aware of the mobile connectivity issues being experienced by businesses, residents, students, tourists and more in our constituency of East Grinstead, Uckfield, and the villages.

Not only is this negatively affecting businesses and their ability to run, but it's also affecting residents trying to reach loved ones and more.

Mims has regularly met with mobile providers and recently met with Vodafone presenting the findings of her constituency survey on this issue which hundreds of residents took the time to complete.

Mims also raised this issue in Parliament in February:

Mims Davies MP said:

“If you follow my work, you know I'm regularly meeting with mobile providers, Ministers, and raising in Parliament the issue of mobile connectivity in EGU.

I recently met with Vodafone and was pleased to hear that Network integration, and the upgrade programme will progressively deliver benefits with 95% of their merger improvements being completed by 2030.

I was pleased to hear that since June, there have been VodafoneThree network improvements in EGU - including 4G coverage capacity enhancements, more 4G available to people in RH19 4F, RH19 3E and RH17 6 areas.

I'd like to reassure residents that I will of course continue to raise this important issue and keep the pressure on providers and the government.

If you are a landowner and would be willing to have a mast - please do contact me.”
