Scheme to improve broadband in Colton Parish

Aug 6, 2020

More funding is now available to help homes and businesses in rural areas of Cumbria and Northumberland who currently do not have access to broadband services of at least 30 Mbps download.  The funding will pay towards the cost of installing gigabit-capable broadband to premises when part of a group project.

The Borderlands Inclusive Growth deal has added additional funding to the Governments Rural Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme to make it even easier to upgrade your connectivity.
