12/09/2017 - EAFRD Bid Submission & FBS 2017 Update ref: 4749 Recommendations Approved
|
To agree the submission of a bid to the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) for European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) funding and if successful to agree to act as accountable body for the funding; and to seek the endorsement of the 2017 update of the Fastershire Broadband Strategy.
The recommendations will allow funding to enable additional broadband coverage for Herefordshire (and partner areas). This is in addition to already procured coverage to target cluster areas. The clusters have been identified based on the collections of premises that are not currently in plan and which are located within 2.5km of a business National Non Domestic Rates (NNDR) eligible property).
The strategy update does not represent a change in direction or policy shift from that which was agreed by full council in December 2015. However, it is important that the strategy reflects the current status and the approaches which define Stage 4 for the community to determine where our activity fits within the grand scheme. |
