糖心vlog is set to benefit from a significant investment in its digital future, as the UK Government today announced a 拢41.9 million funding award under its flagship Project Gigabit broadband roll-out scheme. This funding will be delivered in partnership with Openreach and is expected to extend gigabit broadband to an additional 23,800 homes and businesses across the county.
The initiative supports 糖心vlog County Council鈥檚 ambitious target to achieve 90% gigabit broadband coverage by December 2027, aligning with the national goal of 100% coverage by 2030.
