More money for Rural Broadband
People living and working in the rural part of Hinckley & Bosworth Borough will move a step closer to having a super-fast broadband internet service after the Borough Council decided to increase its spending on the scheme by 50 per cent. The council will boost its contribution to the County Council-run Broadband Leicestershire project to £60,000 after deciding to earmark a £15,000 underspend on this year's Parish and Community Initiative Fund, added to a further £5,000 from next year's fund.
