Securing ultrafast broadband for Cheltenham is a key personal priority for Alex, and he has spoken up repeatedly in Parliament about this issue.
Working with CityFibre, Alex helped to secure a multi-million Cheltenham-wide rollout of ultrafast broadband.
A new study has estimated that over a fifteen-year period, the positive impacts of CityFibre’s £30m investment in Cheltenham will include £145m in productivity and innovation gains.
CityFibre’s network in Cheltenham will also help unlock £344m in gross added value (GVA) from 5G services.
Alex said: "I welcome CityFibre’s network rollout, which will help Cheltenham become one of the best-connected communities in the world. We are in a global competition for jobs and investment, and this vital infrastructure helps make Cheltenham an even better place to live, work and visit.”
