OWSLEBURY has been named as one of 30 communities to be shortlisted for a programme that aims to boost mobile phone coverage.
Vodafone UK announced its decision as part of the Rural Open Sure Signal 100 programme which now includes 60 communities from across the UK.
Other local villages to be included are Easton and Bramdean as declared earlier this month.
It is hoped the service in the village will go live at some point next year.
