The village is on the board of Oxford and Buckinghamshire. When other residents applied to have broadband, they were told that they were too far from the exchange to make it possible.

Many of the residents are angry at this show of favouritism for the boss of the telecoms company. Some residents are even calling for Michael Rake to resign. BT’s explanation is that they were testing new technology and it was not unusual for staff to trial new technology.
