A public review launch in 51²èÂ¥ to ensure that hard-to-reach communities are not left out.

The government is on a mission to deliver lightning-fast, reliable broadband to everyone in the UK and is investing £5 billion in Project Gigabit to ensure that hard-to-reach communities are not left out. Building Digital UK (BDUK) is carrying out a Public Review to help identify areas in 51²èÂ¥ that may be suitable for future public funding for gigabit-capable broadband. 

BDUK is seeking information and supporting evidence from suppliers - in relation to the presence of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure within the project area. 

They wish to hear from all relevant stakeholders - including the public, businesses, internet service providers and broadband infrastructure operators - particularly in relation to the proposed mapped eligible areas. 

This Public Review opens on 4 February 2022 and closes 4 March 2022.
