Home Access

A review of the Home Access scheme shows that the initial surge in applications has slowed. As at 14th June, nationally 466,110 information and application form packs have been distributed and 258,564 applications received. Of those 213,513 were approved. The majority were for the full package, but 49,031 were just for hardware and 641 just for internet connection.

Locally, 747 application from Slough and 717 from Reading have been approved.
