Understanding the availability of fixed and mobile broadband at individual address level is vital for any local authority or telecoms provider.

Address-level data allows local authorities to target infrastructure investment and skills programmes at the people most in need, making the most efficient use of resources. 

Ensuring residents have access to broadband helps reduce costs in the provision of Adult Social Care, improves educational outcomes for children, enables tourism, increases employment levels and enables households to access savings on bills of at least £1,000 per year compared with those not online.

I have provided local authorities with granular details of broadband and mobile coverage within democratically accountable geographies and created interventions to tackle the Digital Divide Skills Gap and ensure connectivity is available. This includes creating targeted campaigns for Parish boundaries, Electoral Wards, Electoral Divisions, Parliamentary Constituencies, Borough, District and County Boundaries

These resources can help local authorities 

Tackle the Digital Divide and Social Isolation

Promote Economic Growth and support Tourism

Reduce costs in social care budgets 

Ensure residents have access to connectivity at EV charging points
