Consultation has concluded

Introduction

The purpose of the Digital Infrastructure, Inclusion and Innovation Strategy (2026–2030) is to set out Gloucestershire County Council’s vision and priorities for improving digital connectivity, inclusion and innovation across the county. It outlines how the Council will fund and work with partners to expand access to gigabit-capable broadband and mobile networks, support digital skills development, and ensure that all residents and businesses can benefit from the opportunities of a connected society.

This strategy is a key part of Gloucestershire’s ambition to create a more inclusive, resilient, and economically vibrant county. It builds on existing initiatives and responds to the growing importance of digital access in everyday life—from education and employment to health, wellbeing, and community engagement.

The public engagement is open from Monday 8th September to 9 am on Monday, 20th October 

Subject to any material changes required in response to the feedback received during this consultation period, a second consultation may be held to finalise the strategy.

The aim is for the updated Digital Infrastructure and Inclusion Strategy to be adopted by Gloucestershire County Council’s Cabinet in December 2025.
