Pledge your support for superfast broadband in Newcastle

Newcastle City Council has launched a campaign to win the backing of businesses and residents in the fight to bring superfast broadband to Newcastle.

We’ve made it through the initial stage of our bid of up to £6 million of government money, to roll out the next generation of broadband.

To secure the funding, we need to demonstrate that it has the backing of businesses and residents from across the city, before the bid deadline on Friday 3 August.

Superfast broadband can revolutionise access to information and help transform Newcastle’s economy by helping businesses develop new products and services, reach new markets and improve efficiency. Find out more about benefits for businesses.

So we need your help to make this happen, and urge you to pledge your support today by visiting the let’s talk digital website.
