Fast broadband is set to be rolled out to three villages in east Lincolnshire.
Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) has chosen three east coast villages to receive vastly improved broadband connectivity as part of a new pilot scheme.
The communities of Willoughby with Sloothby, Ingoldmells and Chapel St Leonards – currently some of the worst broadband notspots in Lincolnshire – are set to benefit from the 18-month initiative, which is being financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
Under the local authority’s broadband strategy, a combination of fibre-to-the-cabinet and fibre-to-the-premises technology will be rolled out to between 85 and 90 per cent of properties across the county by maximising private investment, supporting community solutions and stimulating provision of a range of broadband services.
