The County Council’s co-investment partnership contract with BT, which was signed in March 2013, will increase this coverage to about 90% by the end of 2015.

Project communications and engagement activity needs to be managed effectively and sensitively to mitigate otherwise high impact risks for the reputation of the County Council and the success of the wider Superfast Northamptonshire project.This role will involve developing, managing and co-ordinating communications for the project.
