Local MP’s encourage businesses and organisations to sign up to faster broadband funding scheme.
Central Government have allocated £50m for organisations and small businesses around the country who are part of the SuperConnected Cities Broadband Project to sign up for faster broadband speeds.
Mike Weatherley, MP for Hove and Portslade who helped secure the funding in 2012 is urging local organisations in Brighton and Hove to take advantage of this funding opportunity.
Locally, the Connection Voucher Scheme provides funding of up to £3,000 for small businesses and charities or voluntary organisations to access faster broadband connection speeds.
Mike said: “Fast broadband is a vital tool for businesses, which is why the Connection Voucher Scheme will be so helpful to organisations across Brighton & Hove. It’s easy to sign up, so I hope that anyone who is interested in the initiative will check to see if they are eligible and apply.”
Simon Kirby, MP for Brighton Kemptown & Peacehaven, said: “My campaign to secure superfast broadband funding for Brighton was ultimately successful because I was able to show the Treasury how important the digital economy is to our city.
“I am delighted that small businesses and charities can now benefit from the money that was secured. It will have a real impact in building on the city’s digital success and bringing economic growth and jobs to my constituency.”
The scheme is open to small and medium-sized enterprises with premises in Brighton & Hove.
