Agenda item

The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director of Resources which provided an update on the work being delivered as part of the Digital Durham Programme to support enhanced digital connectivity across County Durham. The report also described the expanding portfolio of projects that underpin the digital community theme of the Council’s Digital Strategy, which sets out the digital ambitions for the county including improving and enhancing digital inclusion (for copy see file of minutes).

In responding to questions from Councillor Deinali, Councillor McDonnell, advised of the gigabit rollout, and the support from the council. 

Councillor McDonnell thanked the Corporate Director and the Digital Durham team for their drive with this for County Durham and the region. She explained that it was a very complex matter, and although much had changed to move the programme on since it commenced in 2013 due to improvements in technologies, much had already been achieved, and that they would continue to drive this agenda forward.

Resolved:

That the report be noted.
