CSW Broadband scheme proving a big success

A scheme to supply faster Broadband Connection to businesses in Coventry and Warwickshire has met with immediate success.

During the first month of the Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire (CSW) Broadband Connection Voucher Scheme in Warwickshire, 74 applications were received with the vast majority of them approved. The total value of vouchers approved in the first month was £19,513.

CSW Broadband is a partnership between Warwickshire County Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, Coventry City Council, BT and the Department for Culture Media & Sport.

The scheme, designed to make faster broadband available to rural areas, is proving to be very popular with the demand high but further applications would be very welcome.

If you are a business, charity or other eligible organisation (even if you operate from home) then you could claim up to £3,000 towards the cost of your connections. Even if the fibre network hasn’t reached you yet, there may be other technologies that could be used.
