Progression of Independent Mobile Coverage Mapping and release of £68,000 to the South Yorkshire Digital Infrastructure Team
The Digital Infrastructure Team is a
partnership between the local authorities of Barnsley, Doncaster,
Rotherham, Sheffield, and the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined
Authority. The existing team has been hosted by Barnsley Council
but it works on behalf of all partners. It was established in 2014
to improve the availability of digital infrastructure as superfast
broadband was rolled out.
The SY Digital Infrastructure Team is currently funded by SYMCA to
the end of 2025/26 using Openreach superfast contract
clawback.
This request is to recycle additional superfast funds to deliver
accurate mapping of the actual coverage and end user experience of
mobile connectivity in South Yorkshire.
