A recent update on the planned \u00a3350m Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal has confirmed that internet slowspots in Northumberland and Cumbria (England) will “shortly<\/em>” be able to take advantage of a new \u00a34m Digital Borderlands Voucher Scheme, which will enable locals to access bigger vouchers to help install gigabit broadband.<\/p>\n

The new 10 year growth deal, which was agreed over a year ago (here<\/a>), is primarily focused upon improving various different types of infrastructure and business in cross-border areas between England and Scotland, including Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Borders, Carlisle City, Cumbria and Northumberland.<\/p>\n

\"borderlands_broadband_and_mobile_q1_2020_coverage_uk\"<\/div>\n

As part of that the new deal intends to invest \u00a34m<\/strong> toward a Digital Borderlands Voucher Scheme<\/strong> (DBVS) that will be designed to top-up the UK Government’s own \u00a3200m Rural Gigabit Connectivity<\/a> (RGC) programme, which currently offers up to \u00a33,500 for small rural businesses and up to \u00a31,500 for homes to get a “gigabit-capable<\/em>” broadband connection installed.<\/p>\n

The RGC scheme is only expected to run until March 2021 and so the additional funding via DBVS will have to match that delivery target. Sadly we don’t yet know how big the top-up vouchers will be but the latest newsletter<\/a> included the following update: “We have submitted the business case to the UK Government and expect to launch the \u00a34 million \u2018top-up\u2019 voucher<\/span> scheme in Cumbria and <\/span>Northumberland shortly<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

By boosting the vouchers the DBVS scheme will be helping to make it more viable for some increasingly remote communities to benefit from such connectivity. On the other hand the much weaker 10Mbps USO is already showing that some of the most rural communities will need more funding than even the combined DBVS and RGC in order to deliver on the Government’s 2025 target for gigabit broadband coverage to every home.<\/p>\n

A general summary of the growth deal’s wider digital priorities can be found below.<\/p>\n

Strategic Priority 1: Extending gigabit capable connectivity to all premises<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The priority is deploy full fibre gigabit capable connectivity across the whole region. Going forward all broadband investment will be full fibre. Recognising the market failure in rural areas, we will work with UK and Scottish Governments to enable the following priorities to be progressed:<\/p>\n

* Complete the superfast contracts with BT<\/a> to deliver circa 93% coverage across the Borderlands by March 2021.<\/p>\n

* Use RGC funding to connect hub sites in superfast not-spot locations in Cumbria and Northumberland and so stimulate further commercial deployment or voucher supported community schemes during 2020\/21.<\/p>\n

* RGC funding will also be used to deliver full fibre connections to 35 schools in Dumfries and Galloway.<\/p>\n

* Use RGC top-up vouchers to support communities in not-spot locations in Cumbria and Northumberland to install full fibre infrastructure in the period up to March 2022.<\/p>\n

* Delivery of the R100 programme across the South of Scotland by 2023.<\/p>\n

* Secure UK Government investment (the \u2018F20\u2019 programme) in the non-commercial areas to achieve 100% gigabit capable connectivity by 2025.<\/p>\n

* Ensure Local Plan policies are up-dated to require developers to provide full fibre to the premise in all new developments.<\/p>\n

Strategic Priority 2: Boosting mobile infrastructure for 4G<\/a> and 5G<\/a> coverage<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mobile infrastructure is a critical component of the digital infrastructure strategy particularly in more remote rural areas. Mobile infrastructure can provide the necessary connections for 4G<\/a> in areas with few premises to support the land management sector, visitor economy and logistics. Mobile 4G<\/a> infrastructure is also required to enable future deployment of 5G<\/a>. The Borderlands region is keen to be an area for testing and trialling of 5G<\/a> technology in a rural context. We will work with UK and Scottish Governments to enable the following priorities to be progressed:<\/p>\n

* Monitor the evolving Shared Rural Network (SRN) 4G programme to assess coverage in the Borderlands.<\/p>\n

* Secure funding and mobilise the Digital Borderlands 4G infill programme to complement the SRN and ensure that no place is left behind.<\/p>\n

* Work with partners on 5G research and development projects.<\/p>\n

Strategic Priority 3: Creating Digital Hubs<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Digital Hubs can fulfil a range of functions, with the most common features including internet access, providing meeting and networking space, and giving opportunities to test new technologies. They have potential to improve digital skills for individuals and businesses as well as foster business and community development. The digital infrastructure strategy, working with local partners, will underpin the following priorities:<\/p>\n

* Develop the new University of Cumbria campus in Carlisle as a Digital Hub4 through provision of the new Digital Skills Academy with business networking space and community learning.<\/p>\n

* Establish digital hubs in each town within the Borderlands Place programme to enhance the provision delivered through libraries and digital learning hubs across the region.<\/p>\n

* Work with South of Scotland Enterprise Agency and Skills Development Scotland and with Cumbria LEP and the North East LEP to increase the delivery of digital skills provision for businesses and communities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

UPDATE 3:23pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

The two councils have revealed that their \u00a34 million investment will be made available will be used to match the level of funding available under the RGC, so that eligible businesses can now apply for up to a maximum of \u00a37,000 and eligible residential properties up to \u00a33,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
