The final community to go live was the village of <strong>Near Sawrey<\/strong> (c.66 premises) &#8211; home to Hill Top, a farmhouse once owned by <strong>Beatrix Potter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Over the lifetime of the programme more than <strong>\u00a350 million<\/strong> has been invested from a combination of sources, including grants from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Building Digital UK<\/a> (the Department for Digital, Culture, Media &amp; Sport), Local Enterprise Partnership Funding and Openreach.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Robert Thorburn, Openreach Partnership Director for the North, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The success of the Connecting Cumbria partnership is a great achievement and testament to the team who have worked so hard for the past seven years. Planning and building fibre networks in one of the most challenging geographies in the UK is no mean feat.<\/p>\n<p>Connecting Cumbria will continue to help communities across Cumbria improve their broadband speeds working both with and independently from Openreach.<\/p>\n<p>Commercially, Openreach is investing \u00a312 billion to build full fibre broadband to 20 million homes across the UK \u2013 and more than three million of those will be in the toughest third of the UK. We\u2019re already building full fibre networks in parts of Cumbria including Millom, Penrith, Barrow-in- Furness and Kendal as well as working directly with more rural communities via our Community Partnership Scheme.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Cllr David Southward, Cumbria County Council, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The importance of digital connectivity is increasingly critical to the modern day lives of residents and the productivity of businesses. This importance has been further highlighted by the Covid-19 crisis and as we recover and rebuild, access to fast, reliable connectivity is no longer a luxury for residents, local businesses or for the effective delivery of public services.<\/p>\n<p>From living and working in Cumbria, I know first-hand some of the challenges in delivering infrastructure in our county and the hard work that has gone into delivering fibre-based broadband through the Connecting Cumbria partnership.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am delighted that nearly 95% of properties in the county can now access superfast broadband services of at least 24Mbps. There is still more to do and Connecting Cumbria will now focus on the delivery of the Council\u2019s Digital Infrastructure Strategy, with the aim of expanding gigabit services and improving connectivity to all communities. This is a top priority given the significant economic and social benefits for Cumbria.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Phase 2 contract might have ended, although we note that both Connecting Cumbria and the Government&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Building Digital UK<\/a> team are currently exploring solutions to figure out if a future <strong>Phase 3<\/strong> procurement could be used to help close the gap on that final 5% of poorly served premises in the county.<\/p>\n<p>We suspect that further clawback (gainshare) under the previous contracts may soon be available to help support this (i.e. funding returned via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> as a result of high take-up).
