Broadband & Infrastructure
Equipping your business with the right resourcesBroadband Connection Vouchers now available
The West Sussex Superfast Broadband Connection Voucher scheme will help improve connectivity for small and medium enterprises that do not have access to superfast broadband and are based in an area not covered by the planned BDUK superfast infrastructure rollout.
Vouchers are available now. You can claim up to £2,500 against the cost of connection, either individually or as part of a group project. As part of a group, you are able to combine the values of your vouchers.
Funding comes from the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership under their ‘Growth is Digital’ priority project. The Connection Voucher scheme has been developed by the Rural West Sussex Partnership, South Downs National Park Authority, Gatwick Diamond Initiative and Coastal West Sussex Partnership with the delivery body, West Sussex County Council.
