Principles met

In the last 5 years Tameside MBC and its public sector partners, including the NHS, education and social housing providers, have been building a borough-wide digital infrastructure, including a fibre network and data centre.

Using an innovative model developed by Tameside and CBN, the public sector partners are able to share the benefits easily – including with the private sector. This is the ‘thin layer model’ or ‘cooperative neutral host’.

Now CBN is working with partner authorities to apply the model to other use cases, including EV charging point deployment and local energy markets.
