Rural Connected Communities Competition

The request was successful.

Dear Mid and East Antrim District Council,

I request the following information :

1. Is the Council intending to submit an application to the Rural Connected Communities Competition for rural 5G testbeds?

2. If the answer to the above is yes, has the Council undertaken, or does the Council plan to undertake risk assessments, equality impact assessments and s75 screenings for its application? Please provide copies of any documents relating to these screenings.

3. If the answer to q1 is yes, which rural communities will be included under the project scope? Please provide details of processes used to identify and select these communities, including details of any community consultation.

4. Does the Council have a 5G, IoT or Smart Communities strategy, or does the Council plan to develop one?

5. Does the Council have public liability or employer's liability insurance for harm caused by wireless radiation? If not, please specify why, and in particular whether this is because of an explicit exclusion in the Council's insurance policies.

Yours faithfully,

Ashleigh Coleman

I regret that whilst the Council does hold the information requested, Council officers require a longer time to consider your request.
