Speaking about the campaign, Mark Pawsey said: "We all know that, in this day and age, the internet is an invaluable tool for keeping in touch, making business transactions, buying and
accessing the latest news, information and headlines. It is important for both businesses and individuals in Rugby to have access to the best possible resources in this increasingly digital age. Our indication is that across Rugby the speed and quality of internet connection is currently variable."

Mark continued: "This is a relevant issue for lots of people every day and I know at first
hand the frustration and problems that people face as a consequence of poor internet access. As a country, it is important that we are at the sharp end of technological initiatives and these will be essential to take us out of recession and on to new economic growth."

Mark concluded: "The aim of our campaign is to build up a picture of the internet speed in
and around Rugby, with a view to ensuring that resources are targeted to provide a  consistently good service across the constituency. I will welcome the help and support of the people of Rugby by taking part in our survey in ensuring that this aspiration can become a reality."
