Sign up for better broadband network in West Sussex

PEOPLE and businesses throughout West Sussex are being urged to register their support for better broadband in the county.

County council deputy leader Cllr Lionel Barnard, who has responsibility for enterprise, said the council had committed £6.26m to match-fund a government grant to improve the county’s broadband network.

“For us to get the full benefit of this investment and ensure we deliver improved broadband first to those who need it most, we need to get a clear picture of the demand across West Sussex,” he added. “By registering their support, residents will be playing their part in showing us where the demand is.”

Residents and businesses can register via the West Sussex – Better Connected website at www.westsussex-betterconnected.org.uk or by completing a registration form at their local library or help point.

Registering support for superfast broadband will help show where the levels of demand are in communities when planning the broadband improvement programme: it does not commit residents to sign up to any new service.

Cllr Barnard said the aim of the programme was to ensure access to improved broadband for both residents and businesses.

“This is particularly vital for our local economy and businesses.”
