The Liverpool Broadband Vouchers Scheme, which has been operating in parts of Liverpool City Centre since September 2014, has now been opened up to applications from across the entire city council boundary area.
The scheme is now running at full speed with more and more businesses reaping rewards from this new government initiative.
The scheme gives eligible SMEs up to £3,000 towards the capital costs of a super/ultra-fast broadband connection.
Hundreds of UK businesses are already benefiting from the vouchers scheme and the scheme has proved successful in the parts of Liverpool City Centre that have been covered to date it is hoped that the expansion of the scheme will result in many more Liverpool businesses taking up the offer.
Councillor Gary Millar, the Cabinet member for business, enterprise and investment, said: “We want Liverpool to be the best digitally connected city in the UK. We have a long road ahead to achieve this but the expansion of this scheme is a major leap in taking the city’s economy to the next level.”
