Residents and businesses in North Yorkshire now have access to faster mobile internet due to government-funded 4G upgrades under the Shared Rural Network programme. The upgrades, live in Hawes and nearby areas, are part of a £1.3 billion initiative to improve mobile coverage in remote UK regions. Infrastructure improvements allow connectivity from multiple providers, including Three and Vodafone, enhancing digital access in this scenic area. Advocates stress that expanded coverage is crucial for bridging the digital divide, helping individuals access essential services online, particularly young people in need of digital support.
The upgrades have gone live in Hawes and surrounding areas including Hardraw, Appersett, Snaizeholme and Sedbusk, forming part of the £1.3 billion national programme to tackle patchy mobile coverage in remote parts of the UK.
The new masts build on wider SRN delivery across North Yorkshire, including recent coverage extensions in the North York Moors National Park, Helmsley, Wombleton, and Pockley, among others.
