The long awaited Fullerton Cove mobile phone tower is set to be built by the end of next year, hopefully putting an end to dodgy and unreliable mobile phone coverage in the area.
It's been a long time coming, with the project finally recognised as a priority receiving funding under round three of the Black Spot Program after missing out in the first two rounds.
Paterson MP Meryl Swanson confirmed the funding announcement but construction isn't set to begin until the second half of 2018 - another 12 months away.
"It will happen which is great. We received news that the contracts will be signed within the next month, but construction won't start until the later half of next year so there's still a bit of a wait but at least we know the tower will definitely be built and that's good news," said Meryl Swanson.
She says she's fought for residents this far, she won't be stopping now.
"it isn't great that it's 12 months away but at least we know its coming and I will be making sure it comes and I will definitely be keeping the pressure on as I have been for the last 12 months since I was elected and found out about this."
