Communities in Rendcomb, Colesbourne, and North Cerney, near Cirencester, face ongoing challenges with mobile connectivity, leaving locals frustrated. Richard Norton, a Rendcomb resident, shared his experience: he can only use his mobile phone while connected to his home Wi-Fi due to widespread signal dead zones. Norton highlighted a complete mobile black spot stretching between Colesbourne and Rendcomb, an area where motorists cannot even make emergency calls if their vehicles break down.
