Council to convene meeting with digital network operators

Date published: 15th October 2025

North Norfolk District Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee agreed on Wednesday 15 October to convene a meeting with digital network operators and providers to work together to ensure modern, resilient and improved communications coverage.

North Norfolk’s strong and vibrant economy needs reliable digital coverage and connectivity. The district’s residents need uninterrupted access to the vital services they rely on.

Councillor John Toye, portfolio holder for Sustainable Growth, said:

“I am delighted that we have an opportunity to progress this important issue by engaging with providers and installers to deliver the services our businesses and residents need, now and in the future.

"There are so many vital applications and activities that rely on good connectivity - having rural defibrillators are not much use when you can’t phone to get the access code."

The Council is now working to convene a meeting in the New Year with a clear focus on the areas of greatest challenge and the outcomes desired.
