Better mobile and broadband connectivity for all

Rishi Sunak connects up Cotterdale's broadband

Rishi continues to help residents and businesses in the remotest parts of the constituency access superfast broadband and 4G mobile phone coverage.

The Government is providing up to £210m worth of voucher funding as immediate help for people experiencing slow broadband speeds in rural areas.

Vouchers worth up to £1,500 for homes and £3,500 for businesses help to cover the costs of installing gigabit broadband to people’s doorsteps.

The roll-out of superfast broadband - part funded by the UK Government - continues. The latest phase of the Superfast North Yorkshire programme will result in up to 97 per cent of all homes and businesses in the county having the ability to connect to superfast broadband.

4G mobile phone coverage will improve in the most remote areas of the Dales thanks to a new network of new masts being switched on through 2024.
