‘ ' Mr Benn said: “While we’re investing in more flood defence schemes, we need to recognise that, in some areas, flooding ' can’t always be prevented. That’s why we’re helping households across England

broadband, says CLA


A LONG-AWAITED report on Britain’s Tjroadband future fails to understand the needs of rural areas such as Rihhle Valley, according to the Country Land and Business Asso­ ciation.


. ■ ' The CLA claims th a t while Lord


Carter’s “Digital Britain” report finally recognises the UK is at “a tipping point” for broadband coverage, it still fails to understand the urgent need of rural busi­ ness for universal high-speed internet access. . . . Rural economy experts at the CLA wel­


comed the report’s idea for a 50p per month levy on all fixed telephone lines to


: Kelp to fund broadband for and the use of an estimated £200m. contribution from unspent digital switchover funds. ' However, the CLA said the report had ;


not put any figures on how much extra. cash would :be generated from other . sources and said it was “highly doubtful’!


‘ the figures raised would be enough to pror vide access for all.'


v'. sDouglas^Chalmers,'Director of CLA North,';said:-“Many:people:now see


; broadband as being a utility as im p o r to t ; : as g ^ and'electric and will be disappoint-,, ■


ed by- the findings' of the report. High-: i.j


. speed-internet is essential right now.and -! those who don't have it'are already disadr


vantaged. j . “Those in rural areas should be asking :


themselves some serious questions: Am i able to run my. business from here any longer?;.Can my: children get .the same opportunities as their classmates? Can I


, keep in touch with the rest of society - my., •family, my friends", my bank,’shopping, or y


increasingly insist on this method of cbm-; municatibh?’ - ^
