The role of councils in tackling digital exclusion

The Local Government Association commissioned DMS Research & Consulting to explore the links between various types of disadvantage and the availability and usage of digital infrastructure, and to consider the role of councils in tackling digital exclusion.

Digitalisation

Digital exclusion remains an important issue for many local communities and a priority for councils to help residents overcome. This study explores the correlations between thousands of pairs of connectivity and socio-economic variables and how connectivity has changed over time – for example by rural urban classification and in terms of the distribution across output areas and/or council areas.
