Chancellor George Osborne announced today that Middlesbrough is able to benefit from £40m made available to support more cities that want to get involved in the scheme.
“Available from April 1, it will help local businesses to access faster, better broadband,” he said.
The Government initially committed £150m for the SuperConnected Cities programme, which is managed by Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK), a unit within the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
But in December, the Chancellor announced the Government will make up to £40m available from April to March 2016 to support more cities administer The Broadband Connection Voucher Scheme.
Each local scheme is designed to meet local needs while helping local businesses to grow and develop.
Broadband Connection Vouchers are available to Small or Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
Businesses can get a connection voucher of up to £3,000 for faster, better broadband through the scheme.
