Shropshire Council has made up to £1 million of additional funding available to ‘top-up’ the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme in partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS).
The purpose of this strategic investment is to support those premises currently not included in any Connecting Shropshire contract.
For homes, the maximum funding per voucher will be £4,000. Eligible businesses can receive an additional £3,500 bringing the maximum funding per voucher to £7,000. To qualify for the Scheme, groups of 2 or more residents/businesses must be located in a rural area and be unable to get broadband speeds of 100Mbps.
