Council leaders in Cheltenham are contemplating sending a direct letter to Virgin Media founder Richard Branson, expressing their growing frustration over persistent delays in infrastructure work led by the company. Local officials have voiced concerns that progress on critical projects has been hindered, impacting residents and businesses alike.
Despite repeated attempts to engage with Virgin Media representatives, council chiefs feel their efforts have been met with limited response, prompting them to consider escalating the matter to the company’s top executive. The delays have prompted widespread dissatisfaction within the community, with many residents reporting disruptions and declining satisfaction with the pace of improvements.
“This situation has reached a point where it very much feels like we are up against a brick wall,” said one council leader. “We are hopeful that by reaching out directly to Richard Branson, we might expedite the resolution of these issues and bring much-needed progress to Cheltenham.”
