Public Consultation on broadband coverage in Northumberland
Please find enclosed a public consultation report on the current and proposed coverage of broadband in Northumberland for the next 3 years.
This report is for state aid purposes and reflects market data we have received from network operators who deliver or plan to deliver broadband in this period.
We are seeking responses from businesses and residents, as well as network operators to confirm our coverage mapping and data is correct. The areas defined as not receiving a broadband service will then be included in a procurement process for the new broadband roll out programme which is due to start in Spring 2015.
The report provides details on how to respond to the consultation or alternatively we are hosting three drop in sessions where residents and businesses can come along to discuss the report and what it means for them.
