To approve an extension to the Fastershire Partnership agreement between Gloucestershire County Council and Herefordshire Council to 31 March 2024. The aim of the Fastershire project is to improve broadband availability across the two counties to support businesses, communities, and individual households to become more digitally connected.
The Fastershire project is nearing its conclusion with 97% of the county having the opportunity to access Superfast Broadband. The proposed one-year extension to the partnership agreement will ensure the Fastershire Team remains in place to manage the closedown of existing Stage 3 Regional delivery contracts with Gigaclear and support the delivery of Stage 5 Fastershire community grants.
The report also seeks approval to extend the completion date for two contracts awarded to Gigaclear as part of Stage 3 of the Fastershire delivery programme. This change request is linked to a previous change request agreed in December 2021.

The County Council undertook a consultation
exercise on the proposal to extend the age range of Widden Primary
School from 4-11 to 2-11 between 7th March 2022 and 1st April 2022.
The consultation followed a request from the Regional Schools
Commissioner at the Department for Education to publish a statutory
notice on extending the age range for the school during the
conversion of the school to an academy. The proposed extension to
the age range of the school was dependent on the conversion of the
school to an academy.
There were no objections to the age range being extended from 4-11
to 2-11. However, following the publication of a statutory notice
to extend the age range and the conclusion of the four-week period
for representations to be made, Widden Primary School’s
Governing Body decided not to proceed to convert the School to an
academy. Therefore, it is proposed to abandon the proposal to
extend the age range of the School from 4-11 to 2-11 years pending
the school identifying further sponsors to enable the School to
convert to an academy.
