North Lanarkshire homes and businesses to enjoy improved broadband access thanks to new deal

Households and business in North Lanarkshire will have significantly improved access to gigabit-capable fibre broadband years earlier than planned.

Up to £150m could be spent over the initial 15-year deal with Commsworld to transform NLC's digital infrastructure, significantly boosting school internet access and creating a free public WiFi network across town centres and community facilities.
