With superfast broadband set to benefit Northern Lincolnshire, the Northernlincs Broadband (NLBB) team are going out into communities like Brigg to tell people how they can benefit from high-speed broadband.
The community roadshow will visit the areas that are planned to receive fibre high-speed broadband by June 2015 in Northern Lincolnshire. Over the next few months the NLBB team will provide information about the upgrade and tell people what it means for them.
Superfast broadband will bring a wide range of benefits for both residents and businesses, such as improved and faster communication.
The roadshow will start on Thursday, February 27 in Brigg Market Place, from 9am to 3pm.
If you can't make that, try Broughton Village Hall on March 6, from 1.30pm to 3.30pm, or Scawby Village Hall on March 7, from 1.30pm to 4pm.
There will also be information and advice from other council services at the roadshows, including the Affordable Warmth team, Adult Community Learning and the regeneration team.
The sessions will help people who don’t know how to use the internet to get online and benefit from the wide range of things you can do online. Take a look at the council’s website for details on the sessions: www.northlincs.gov.uk/do-it-online
Coun Neil Poole, Cabinet Member for Policy and Resources, said: “The superfast broadband project is well underway and many areas across Northern Lincolnshire will soon be able to reap the benefits of high-speed broadband.
“Go along to one of the roadshow events and find out what superfast broadband means for you, whether you are a business or resident, our highly qualified team will be able to offer you some great advice. There are unlimited advantages for businesses and homes to using broadband.
“It is essential that North Lincolnshire moves into the digital age; ensuring we are well-known as a place to invest and do business. We want to provide as many opportunities as we can for businesses and support the creation of jobs in our area - the broadband project will greatly help with this.”
