Government grants for superfast broadband are now available for businesses in East Cambridgeshire.

Connection vouchers provide funding of up to £3000 to pay for the installation cost of getting superfast broadband to offices. Businesses with fewer than 250 employers, sole traders, and charities are eligible for funding.

The scheme was initially for businesses in Cambridge and the South Cambridgeshire but has now been extended to the wider economic region until March 2016. The county council’s Connecting Cambridgeshire scheme has awarded over 170 connection vouchers so far and more are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Businesses can apply and find out more about the connection voucher scheme on the Destination Digital website.
