CLA North says more clarity is needed on an announcement by the government on superfast broadband.
CLA North regional director Dorothy Fairburn said: “It is unclear whether the £250m is part of the £300m for superfast broadband already announced by the government.
What about the other £50m?
“There is still a massive digital divide between urban and rural areas in the North.”
