    • Elevate has secured a contract to build a full fibre network for St Helens, enhancing internet speed and reliability for the community.

    Elevate has been awarded a contract to build a full fibre internet network for St Helens Borough Council, part of the council’s Digital Infrastructure Programme. This new network aims to enhance internet speeds and reliability for both residents and businesses in the town centre.

    The project supports the regeneration of St Helens as part of the Town Fund Programme, which is funded by the government’s Ministry of Homes, Communities and Local Government.

    Why it’s important

    The establishment of a full fibre network in St Helens represents a significant step towards enhancing digital infrastructure in the region. As small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increasingly rely on high-speed internet for daily operations, this investment will directly benefit local businesses and attract further investment. The move aligns with broader trends in the UK, where government initiatives are focusing on digital transformation to boost economic competitiveness.

    In a landscape where cyber threats are on the rise, having robust internet infrastructure becomes essential for supporting secure online activities. Furthermore, the government’s commitment to improving digital connectivity reflects a recognition of the importance of technology in modern society. As the UK aims to be a leader in digital innovation, projects like this one illustrate the potential for towns to become digitally connected hubs.

    The collaboration with Tute Education adds a layer of social value, ensuring that improved connectivity also benefits local schools and students. This dual focus on economic and educational advancement highlights the holistic impact of infrastructure projects. Overall, the full fibre network in St Helens not only promotes connectivity but also fosters community growth, making it a pivotal development for the area’s future.
