Connectivity DEN

Free support for Denbighshire businesses struggling with internet issues

Businesses in Denbighshire experiencing internet connectivity problems are being offered expert support through Denbighshire County Council’s Digital Officer Service in partnership with Cadwyn Clwyd.

Staying connected is vital for business operations, but many companies face challenges accessing reliable, high-speed internet. With multiple government schemes currently available and Openreach continuing its fibre expansion across the region, it can be difficult for business owners to stay up to date with the latest options.

To help, the Council is offering a free advisory service, where a dedicated Digital Officer can provide tailored advice, investigate issues on your behalf, query Openreach, and provide a detailed report on your connection and available solutions.

Councillor Emrys Wynne, Lead Member for Welsh Language, Culture and Heritage, said:

“Digital connectivity is essential for business growth and sustainability. Through this service, we’re making sure Denbighshire businesses aren’t left behind and have access to the support they need to thrive in the digital age.

“We understand the pressures local businesses face, and this service is one way we’re helping to remove barriers and create opportunities for growth.”

There is also support and information about the new LoRaWan network that Denbighshire are installing across the county with funding from Ambition North Wales. This network will be open-access allowing businesses and residents to connect their sensors to the internet. LoRaWan sensors can save businesses time and money by monitoring situations remotely, alerting the user when an event is triggered.

The service is fully funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is available to all businesses in Denbighshire at no cost.
