Description

Crawley Borough Council is launching its digital connectivity project to improve broadband connectivity in the Manor Royal business park, an initiative with the potential to drive substantial economic growth in Crawley. Up to GBP1.5 million in funding has been secured through the UK Government’s Towns Fund initiative for this project, and will be allocated towards the deployment of fibre-to-the-premise (FTTP) digital infrastructure throughout the Manor Royal business park, enabling access to gigabit-capable connectivity for 100% of premises in the park.  As such, the Council is seeking to engage a partner to build, operate, maintain and commercialise this network. The establishment of a commercial partnership, achieved through a combination of public and private investment, is central to maximising the project’s economic benefit, by increasing the capital that can be deployed and thereby expanding the potential FTTP coverage across Crawley.
