Show support for super fast broadband

“This is a chance for residents, local businesses, broadband suppliers and others to have their say on what we have planned,” said Coun Kelly Smith, executive member for finance and human resources.
“Good broadband is vital for business growth, for all residents accessing services and for young people looking to download learning materials.”
“That’s why the county council is investing £10 million in this project, with a further £4 million coming from the district authorities.”
