Superfast Broadband for Nottingham?

Business leaders in Nottingham are optimistic about the possibility of superfast broadband along the cities new tram links.

Nottingham City Council has applied for £8m of government money to help pay for the work, that would involve superfast broadband cables being installed along the same route as two new tram lines.  It would then be retrospectively connected to the existing network.  It is claimed it would give the city's businesses a competitive edge in the digital age.

Business leaders were informed of the plans at the launch of the Councils economic growth plan for Nottingham, and many believe it would help them compete globally.

Other cities are also bidding for the grant, with the winners being announced in the budget announcement next month.
