The total spend on improving digital connectivity as a result of the Welsh government\u2019s Superfast programme (Superfast Cymru) in North Wales equates to £62.78 million. This is made up of contributions from the UK government, the Welsh government and the European Union.<\/p>

On 4 December 2018, Building Digital UK (BDUK) here at DCMS approved £8 million of funding for North Wales through Wave 3 of the Local Full Fibre Networks programme. This project has started to deploy fibre upgrades to 335 public buildings across six local authorities in North Wales (Gwynedd, Anglesey, Conwy, Denbighsire, Flintshire and Wrexham).<\/p>

The number of Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme (GBVS) vouchers requested for North Wales to date are low because of the coexistence with the previous Welsh scheme. BDUK recently launched a joint new scheme, hosted by DCMS but co-branded with the Welsh government, with the voucher values topped up by the Welsh government. The numbers for the GBVS are as follows:<\/p>

<\/p>

  1. Conwy 1<\/li>
  2. Denbighshire 12<\/li>
  3. Flintshire 10<\/li>
  4. Gwynedd 6<\/li>
  5. Wrexham 8<\/li><\/ol>
