AN MP is seeking an explanation over why existing homes in a village near Easingwold cannot be connected to superfast broadband but new builds have been.

Thirsk MP Kevin Hollinrake will meet with Openreach CEO Clive Selley today to question why residents in 12 properties in Tholthorpe were told that their homes cannot be connected to the village’s Superfast cabinet, yet three new build bungalows are being connected.
