PCC’s Commitment to Expanding Gigabit Broadband: Connecting Communities

In Pembrokeshire, digital inclusion isn’t just a goal. It’s becoming a reality.

Building a Connected Future for Pembrokeshire

In today’s digital world, fast and reliable internet is more than a convenience—it’s a necessity. Whether it’s for remote work, online education, or accessing essential services, connectivity underpins every aspect of modern life.

That’s why Pembrokeshire County Council has made a bold and lasting commitment to expanding gigabit-capable broadband throughout the county.

This forward-thinking initiative aims to ensure that even the most rural and remote communities in Pembrokeshire are no longer left behind.

Closing the Digital Divide

For years, some areas of Pembrokeshire have struggled with slow, unreliable broadband. Recognizing the challenges this creates—particularly for rural residents and businesses—the Council is determined to level the playing field. Their goal is simple but powerful: to provide every home and business in Pembrokeshire with access to ultra-fast, dependable internet.

This isn’t just about better streaming or quicker downloads. It’s about equity, access, and opportunity.

A Regional Collaboration with Lasting Impact

As part of the Swansea Bay City Deal’s Digital Infrastructure Programme, Pembrokeshire County Council is working collaboratively with neighbouring authorities and digital partners to roll out gigabit broadband across the region. This ambitious programme is designed to build long-term digital resilience and help future-proof the local economy.

The Council's involvement demonstrates not only technical leadership but also a strong commitment to strategic partnership and regional progress.

Unlocking Economic and Social Opportunity

The benefits of improved digital infrastructure are vast. For businesses, it means enhanced productivity, wider market access, and the ability to innovate without limits. For students, it ensures access to digital learning tools regardless of location. For healthcare, it enables faster, more efficient services delivered right into people’s homes.

Importantly, it also helps Pembrokeshire residents stay connected with loved ones, access essential services, and enjoy the full range of digital experiences that many in urban areas already take for granted.

Looking Ahead: A Digital Vision for All

The Council’s broadband strategy is more than an infrastructure project—it’s a statement of values. It reflects a belief that rural communities deserve the same digital advantages as their urban counterparts. It’s a vision of a county where no postcode determines your access to opportunity.

By putting connectivity at the heart of its development strategy, Pembrokeshire County Council is ensuring that the county remains a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-looking place to live and work.

Pembrokeshire County Council’s commitment to expanding gigabit broadband is transforming the county’s digital landscape. Through strategic investment, strong partnerships, and a people-first mindset, the Council is creating a more connected and empowered community for today—and for generations to come.
