ITS has been awarded the contract to deliver a dark fibre network for Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, aimed at enhancing digital connectivity for underserved businesses and residents, in an initiative that forms part of a £23m Newcastle Town Deal grant.
The initiative hopes to provide high-speed internet connections that create new opportunities and foster local economic growth, transforming digital access for communities and businesses in wards across the Town Fund Area within the Borough.
The fibre network will span up to 50km, designed to connect 15 key council sites which includes local authority buildings and CCTV cameras, alongside connecting 13 priority community centres to underpin the creation of digital hubs.
Simon Tagg, Leader of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, (pictured) commented: “This initiative will encourage growth and investment for smaller businesses and provide residents with the digital infrastructure they need to improve their day-to-day lives.
“By delivering in areas overlooked by commercial providers we are ensuring communities are not left behind, and ITS’s expertise in building and managing full fibre networks will be instrumental in achieving the council’s vision of a digitally inclusive borough.”
