BDUK announced the award of Project Gigabit in Cheshire to Freedom Fibre, this will see an addition 15,000 connections take place over the coming years. Project Gigabit is a £5 billion nationwide rollout targeted at people and businesses which would have missed out in the industry’s rollout of gigabit-capable broadband.
Following news of this award, Freedom Fibre will undertake a period of detailed design and survey work, with building work expected to commence early 2025.
Where businesses and residents can’t currently access a fibre-based solution, we can also work with you to explore alternative schemes such as vouchers.

We work with communities across Cheshire, Halton and Warrington to utilise the Governments Gigabit Voucher Scheme which enables communities to seek a connection. Since it’s launch Digital Cheshire can also provide top-up funding to enable more community-led schemes to become affordable.
