Broadband

The Coventry Solihull & Warwickshire (CSW) Superfast Broadband Project has been given the go-ahead from BDUK to enter the pre-procurement phase of the project and can now start to engage with suppliers in readiness for a full procurement exercise (see timetable below). This is great news and means that we now enter an exciting time as the project starts to become very real. This is a significant achievement and reflects the amount of hard work that we (and our Community Champions) have been doing over the past few months to really understand the true state of broadband in our area.
