It is now available in Ward’s End, Bedford Square and Queen’s Park.
Loughborough's free wi-fi network has been expanded across more of the town centre.
Loughborough already had free wi-fi in some areas but it is now available in Ward’s End, Bedford Square and Queen’s Park, meaning it stretches across the whole town centre.
The funding has come from Loughborough Town Deal which secured £16.9 million from the Government’s Towns Fund.
Cllr Jewel Miah, Leader of the Council, said: “The Living Loughborough project is an exciting one for the whole town and I am pleased we have announced the extension of the free wi-fi for shoppers and visitors.
“There is so much more to come through this project and I look forward to seeing the improvements.
Visitors to the town centre and Queen’s Park will be able to access the free wi-fi by selecting ‘Love Free Wi-Fi’ on their device. Once registered, users can receive information on parking offers, shopping discounts, upcoming events, trails and other town centre news if they decide to opt in.
Lez Cope-Newman, chair of Love Loughborough BID: said: “As we know, the role and function of town centres are undergoing significant change with the need for digital connectively becoming an essential function for a town centre to operate.
“As well as keeping people in touch and backing local businesses, the free wi-fi supports ongoing covid recovery-related measures such as contactless payments, using food and drink-ordering apps and being able to access public services, travel information and the latest local health advice and support while on the go.
“It will be an added attraction for people to come into Loughborough and stay longer, which benefits everyone, including our member businesses.”
