Connecting Devon and Somerset Secures £430,000 Funding for Next-Generation Broadband Infrastructure Project

We are thrilled to announce that Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) has successfully raised an impressive £430,000 in funding to further our mission of delivering next-generation broadband infrastructure to underserved areas across Devon and Somerset. As a local government-led partnership, CDS has been at the forefront of addressing the connectivity disparity in regions that the market has overlooked, ensuring that every community can benefit from reliable and rapid internet access. The funds raised will be instrumental in enhancing our capabilities, allowing us to implement a cost-efficient plan to bring superfast broadband to more residents and businesses who are currently facing connectivity challenges. With this financial boost, we are poised to accelerate our rollout efforts, bridging the digital divide and empowering local economies. By fostering collaboration between public and private sectors, CDS is not just building infrastructure, but is also laying the groundwork for a more connected and prosperous future for all communities in Devon and Somerset. The support we’ve received underscores the importance of our work and motivates us to continue striving for equitable access to high-speed internet. As we move forward, we are committed to keeping our stakeholders informed and engaged, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout every phase of our projects. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in this endeavor; together, we are creating a more connected tomorrow.
