Wiltshire Council has launched Digital Wiltshire, a new online platform designed to keep residents, businesses, and stakeholders informed about the rollout of gigabit-capable broadband across Wiltshire North and South, South Gloucestershire, and Swindon.
Digital Wiltshire also includes a simple mobile ‘not spot’ reporting tool, which we strongly encourage you and your community to use. Identifying areas with poor mobile coverage is vital for improving connectivity and ensuring reliable communication—especially during emergencies.
Your insight is invaluable—particularly during this initial testing phase, where gathering accurate data on mobile ‘not spots’ will help shape future investment and infrastructure improvements. Many gaps remain unreported, and your local knowledge can make a real difference.
Why Digital Wiltshire matters for your community:
- Emergency Resilience: Reliable connectivity is critical for communication during incidents and severe weather events.
- Protecting Vulnerable Residents: Many older or isolated residents rely on digital access for health services, social contact, and emergency alerts. Better coverage reduces the risk of exclusion.
- Inclusive Access: Ensures rural communities are not left behind in the digital age.
- Economic Growth: Strong connectivity supports local businesses and attracts investment.
- Community Empowerment: Gives you tools to identify and address connectivity challenges proactively.
Please share this platform widely and report any known coverage issues to help us deliver the best possible service for Wiltshire.
