A stronger digital structure will help to modernise libraries, making the internet more accessible to people who don’t have computers at home.

Broadband will give you the option to download e-books straight to your computer.

Accessing services will be easier and more convenient, such as paying bills, council tax, registering for courses and finding out about other council services.

Benefits for education

There has been a rapid increase in demand for broadband in schools and we need to equip children and young people with the skills and tools they will need for life in the 21st century.

Adult education services also want better, faster broadband to help adults improve and gain new skills.
