This sign on the barriers at Image says that the work is being done by Lightspeed, a company bringing improved fibre optic internet to this part of the world (https://www.lightspeed.co.uk/ ). The sign says "Bringing full fibre gigabit broadband with blistering speed to your street". FTTP is "Fibre To The Premises", the complete elimination of copper pairs for internet connectivity, replacing it with fibre optic light guides. Currently the town is blessed with FTTC "Fibre To The Cabinet", leaving the infamous 'last mile' (in reality the last kilometre) to be done on a metallic connection
