Making Crickhowell a better place with digital technology and data

New public Wi-Fi in your town

A new public Wi-Fi system will be installed in Crickhowell by Powys County Council’s appointed contractor, Telemat, in the coming weeks.

This new digital infrastructure, along with existing infrastructure like the public LoRaWAN gateways, provides an exciting opportunity for the town’s residents, businesses, community groups, Town Council and other stakeholders to explore how digital technology and data can be used to make Crickhowell a better place in which to live, work and visit.

Two Welsh companies, Owen Davies Consulting and Cwmpas, have been commissioned by Powys County Council to support stakeholders to do this.

Crickhowell’s Digital Place Plan

Installing a public Wi-Fi system was one of the key actions identified in the Crickhowell Digital Place Plan, produced by Owen Davies Consulting on behalf for town stakeholders in spring/summer 2022.

The Digital Place Plan contains an assessment of how digital, technology and data can be used to help address Crickhowell’s priorities, and what actions should be taken to make this happen.
