Lithgow City Council is asking residents within the LGA to contact Council if they are having problems with their existing mobile phone cover. Council is responding to complaints from some residents that mobile phone calls are dropping out and/or mobile phone coverage areas are not as portrayed by some providers.

Lithgow LGA residents experiencing mobile coverage difficulties are asked to access http://www.haveyoursay.lithgow.com/mobile-coverage/ on Council’s website to provide details prior to Council approaching providers for comment.

“If the issues are extensive, then Council will consider suggesting to residents that we attempt to aggregate the demand with a view to searching for a wholesale telecommunications provider that is capable of supplying accessible services” said Council’s General Manager Graeme Faulkner.
