The report presented an update on progress in delivering the Digital Infrastructure Work Plan across the Borough.

 

In response to a question from a Member, the Economic Development Manager explained that Cellnex UK was finalising negotiations with landowners in order to install two masts in the Anerley/Penge area as part of a wider scheme to improve 4G/5G connectivity on Network Rail mainline trains from London to Brighton as well as for residents and business in the surrounding area.  Further improvements to mobile network coverage and capacity in the Borough were being delivered via a scheme which encouraged mobile network operators to install mobile small cells on existing lamp columns which also generated rental income for the Local Authority.

 

RESOLVED: That the update be noted.
