Bringing Superfast broadband to our rural areas
Warwickshire County Council is leading on the project to improve the broadband across the sub-region and we need your help. Clearly the money available from public funds will not be sufficient to solve the problem for the whole sub-region, and so telecoms providers who tender for the work will be expected to make their own investment of at least twice the amount that is available from public funds.
They will not be doing this out of the goodness of their heart, and so are likely to prioritise those areas that are able to show the greatest demand.
What can you do to help?
Complete our survey
If you have not already done so please complete the broadband survey that is located at http://www.cswbroadband.org.uk/ - there is one survey for domestic use and one for business use, so if you run a business or work from home please do both – and encourage your neighbours to do it as well because the more people that respond from a given area the higher priority it will be.
Become a Champion
Could you help to bring faster broadband services to your local area? We are looking for Community Champions to help us to get our message out to rural communities. The role will include:
- Putting posters up on local noticeboards
- Delivering flyers to households
- Providing hard copies of the surveys to those who are unable to access them on-line
- Delivering presentations to local groups about the project (but only if you feel comfortable with this!)
- All material will be provided through the project website and in hard copy (it is currently being prepared and as soon as we know that the money is all in place we will start the print runs)
To express an interest in becoming a Champion, please email your name, address (with postcode) and telephone number to broadband@warwickshire.gov.uk
Your assistance could make all the difference to your village getting superfast broadband!
