Wrexham County Borough Council digital grant schemes for advanced wireless and mobile coverage
The council’s growth deal digital programme has launched two grant schemes: one for advanced wireless to improve connectivity on sites and within buildings, and one for mobile operators to improve 4G and 5G coverage across the region. The first application round has closed and is now being assessed over the next couple of months.

Verified against the transcript — proposed, not yet agreed
The transcript says the digital grant schemes were “recently launched” and that applications “have just closed and are being assessed over the next couple of months,” with “good news” hoped for in coming months, which shows an active grant programme but not a procurement or award decision yet.
