No projects to improve mobile signal in the North Norfolk constituency have been funded or part-funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology between 2022 and 2026.
The constituency has not been identified for intervention from the Government funded elements of the Shared Rural Network programme (SRN) over this period because of the high level of 4G geographic coverage across the constituency, although it has received industry investment through the programme.
According to Ofcom’s Connected Nations Spring update, published on 13 May 2026, it is reported that, as of January 2026, 91% of the North Norfolk constituency landmass has 4G geographic coverage from all four MNOs.
No further coverage uplift is currently forecast for the constituency from the Government-funded element of the SRN programme, with the construction phase of the programme expected to conclude in January 2027.
