Digital Places is a collaborative membership programme established by and for local authorities to address mobile connectivity challenges, delivering better connectivity for residents, businesses and public services.

At the heart of the programme is a data-driven model that combines crowdsourced data with field measurements to build a real-world picture of where connectivity problems exist and why. The model does not simply identify where signal is poor, it assesses how important those gaps are, cross-referencing connectivity data with population, infrastructure and socioeconomic metrics to ensure every intervention is prioritised according to local need.

The programme provides a structured pathway from evidence gathering through to delivery. It develops practical plans supported by commercial insight and procurement guidance, engages directly with mobile network operators and solutions providers, and manages implementation through to impact reporting.

By bringing multiple local authorities together under a standardised, collaborative model, Digital Places creates the scale to lower costs, reduce duplication and drive the market influence needed to attract meaningful operator investment. Members benefit from shared tools, tested delivery mechanisms and a collective voice that shifts engagement with the market from isolated local challenges toward coordinated, investment-ready opportunities.
