Digital Durham - Broadband Update

Durham County Council is seeking support from residents, businesses and communities for a roll-out across the county of its superfast broadband programme.

The council has already secured £7m in matched funding from central government but as a condition for the funding it must now demonstrate community demand for the service in order to take the scheme to the next level.

If the council is unable to prove that residents support the programme for high speed broadband then up to 60% of the county could miss out on coverage in future.

If you are online you can access further details (including current broadband download speeds) and register your support at:

www.durham.gov.uk and by entering Digital Durham in the search bar.

Alternatively you can contact the Digital Durham team on:

03000 261 160 or by email on digital.durham@durham.gov.uk.
