There&#8217;s a digital divide between Suffolk and the rest of the country but an even more acute disparity between urban and rural Suffolk. The Better Broadband programme is going to close those gaps, boost school attainment and help the public sector to deliver services more efficiently and cheaply.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Since I became leader of the county council, I have been determined to get Suffolk&#8217;s broadband aspirations back on track. I&#8217;m therefore delighted that we&#8217;ve come such a long way in such a short space of time.
