Seven councils awarded digital connectivity funding
Seven councils are set to receive funding from the Local Government Association (LGA) as part of a programme to help boost digital connectivity.
The LGA’s Digital Connectivity Programme provides funding to help councils better meet the needs of their residents, improve productivity, support local businesses and local places.
The seven councils who will receive funds from the programme are Westminster City Council; Essex County Council; Durham County Council; South Hams District Council; Warwickshire County Council; Northamptonshire County Council; The Royal Borough of Greenwich.
The projects being delivered by the successful councils focus on developing sustainable rural connectivity mapping, toolkits for tackling urban not-spots, and initiatives for targeted take up of local connectivity offers.
