The focus is thus on how those in the final c.4% of premises will be reached.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with that the new funding looks set to form part of the recently agreed <strong>\u00a314m Broadband Strategy<\/strong> between both counties (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/12\/gloucestershire-and-herefordshires-14m-broadband-plan-for-2022.html\">see our summary<\/a>). As part of that it was proposed to establish a new <strong>Fastershire Community Broadband Grant<\/strong> to help aggregated groups of related premises (the talk is of individual grants with a value of <strong>up to \u00a35,000<\/strong>); obviously the funding won&#8217;t be enough for every property.<\/p>\n<p>The new grants, based around a pre-procured set of suppliers and <strong>Dynamic Purchasing System<\/strong> (these are to be offered on a first come, first served basis), would aim to deploy Gigabit-capable or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> broadband ISP networks &#8220;<em>where value for money allows<\/em>&#8221; (i.e. determined largely by the market competition with grant beneficiaries required to accept the most economically advantageous offer).<\/p>\n<p>If individual grant applications exceed \u00a35,000 then the total number of non-participating &#8220;<em>still to do<\/em>&#8221; premises covered incidentally by the project will also be accounted for in the calculation. Assuming this brings the cost back down below \u00a35,000 per grant then the request will still be approved. A third calculation may be made if this is not achieved but it gets progressively hardly to hit the mark.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Councillor Trish Marsh said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite being one of the most sparsely populated counties in England, Herefordshire is quickly becoming one of the best connected areas in the country. This is vital to the future of our communities and businesses. Infrastructure projects like this are always challenging but even more so in such a rural county as Herefordshire, which had so little existing superfast coverage.<\/p>\n<p>We know that the rollout of these new broadband networks sometimes takes a bit longer than residents and businesses would like, but there has been a massive investment in the county. We&#8217;re proud of the leap in superfast coverage from under 1% to over 90% in 7 years. Now we are really starting to the see the benefits and encourage householders to check the new options now available to them.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Admittedly Herefordshire might be behind other counties in that their overall coverage of superfast broadband has only recently passed the 90% mark, although this should be balanced against the fact that they have a relatively high county-level of &#8220;<em>full fibre<\/em>&#8221; coverage at over 20% (vs 10% nationally).<\/p>\n<p>Under the current plan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> networks in the county will reach 56% of the properties in rural areas by 2022, which is impressive and mostly thanks to Fastershire\u2019s work with key suppliers including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/gigaclear\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Gigaclear<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/airband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Airband<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 2:14pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Fastershire team informs that the new grant scheme is to be officially unveiled at a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastershire.com\/supplier-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">supplier event<\/a> on Thursday 6th February 2020, when we should get some more details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Herefordshire County Council (HCC) has confirmed that they&#8217;ve set aside \u00a3500,000 to support a new broadband grant scheme under the joint Fastershire project with Gloucestershire County Council, which will provide funding to help isolated communities that are not yet part of the current roll-out programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20608,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,471,65,56,416,451,445,69,38],"class_list":["post-20607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-bduk","tag-ftth","tag-fttp","tag-gigaclear","tag-gloucestershire","tag-herefordshire","tag-bt-openreach","tag-politics"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
