Rural Broadband - lots of pressure but will the Council bother to apply?

Regular readers will know that I have been campaigning for the broadband funding that the voters of Hexham so need. There is government money available but the Northumberland County Council has to apply for it - so far they have not.
I have written to the Minister to keep up the pressure and the Minister for Broadband has replied.
The Hexham Courant is backing this campaign and details the exchange of letters:
