PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Shared Rural Network: 4G (1 September 2023)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how many new 4G mobile signal masts have been constructed following the launch of the Shared Rural Network.

Asked by:
Helen Morgan (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

Any improvements from the SRN programme in North Shropshire will come from the industry-led element of the programme and as such DSIT are unable to provide any details on the precise location or number of new or upgraded masts that may be delivered specifically in North Shropshire as a result of the SRN.

We can confirm that the MNOs have said publicly that they have deployed more than 150 new masts and over 1500 upgraded masts across the UK as part of the industry-led element of the SRN.
