Outcome 4 - Improved connectivity through removing barriers and encouraging greater investment within the borough

Currently in focus

• Planned procurement has now been completed and work has begun to fully utilise laid full fibre cabling to all identified public sector properties located within the borough. To improve connectivity to libraries, sheltered accommodations, schools, fire stations as well as community and village halls etc, 
  • Expected completion within the borough, March 2024.
• Through the ASELA partnership, the likes of Openreach, Virgin and CityFibre has committed resources to make the borough gigabyte ready (full fibre to the property) to address government targets (85% coverage). There has been a 9.3% increase in full fibre coverage within the borough in 2023 due to this programme of work (last updated Dec 2023, for the latest information visit 'Getting connected').
  • Key dates are to be confirmed.
