Over the last month or so we have been fine-tuning our application to the Leader Broadband Challenge Fund for a significant upgrade to our internet connectivity as a community. The application went in today, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed. What makes this particularly exciting is that alongside being able to offer everyone in Colintraive and Glendaruel a significantly better connection, we’ll be employing a couple of people on a part-time basis to install and help households get their new, faster and more reliable connections working.

Rhona and I are presently preparing the draft of an application to LEADER for a broadband project to take advantage of a 1M euros fund the government have just announced. Luckily we have the Cadispa report to evidence much of what we say, and we also have some template documents to help with the technical side of things, but it is a bit of a rush. The draft will be presented to the board at our next meeting (25th July) and we’ll report thereafter.
