Nanette Milne, Scottish Conservative MSP for the North East has welcomed the 264 million investment in broadband, saying, “I welcome this significant investment in Scotland’s broadband infrastructure.
“Recent reports have shown that parts of the Aberdeenshire had some of the lowest broadband speeds in the UK. It is therefore vital that we see investment in broadband for rural communities. Connecting rural communities must be the main priority.
“It is important that this technology and infrastructure is made available to homes and businesses across the North East and I have sought to lobby Ministers to priorities investment for rural communities. I will continue to make the case for additional investment for other North East communities.
“I hope that rural communities across the North East will be made a priority when this investment in broadband is being delivered.”
