Next Cambridgeshire UK Towns Named for Free WiFi Rollout

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA), which is working alongside the Connecting Cambridgeshire broadband rollout project, has today announced the next set of three locations to benefit from their ongoing rollout of free public access WiFi (“CambWifi“).

The service is currently being provided at over 200 public buildings, as well as open spaces (i.e. usually across the centre of various towns, cities and villages in the county) around Cambridgeshire and Peterborough in England. In order to remind locals and let visitors know they can get online for free while on the go, eye-catching new stickers have also been appearing in Ely, Huntingdon, Ramsey, St Ives, St Neots and Peterborough.

Following the CambWifi launch in Peterborough at the end of last year, free-to-use public WiFi is now also being rolled out to more locations with Oxmoor, March and Whittlesey set to be next to be connected.

Dr Nik Johnson, Mayor of Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, said:

“The Combined Authority is passionate about strengthening connectivity within our communities. As well as helping people to stay connected whilst visiting our city and market town centres, having free CambWifi will enable local councils and business groups to improve services and offerings to attract more visitors.

We’re committed to supporting residents and the provision of free-to-use, safe and secure Wifi in public areas is just one of the ways we’re doing this. A big thank-you to Connecting Cambridgeshire who continue to raise awareness and have been putting up these stickers to let people know where they can save data and get online for free.”
