Mobile Black Spot Programme—How the successful locations were chosen

The 499 successful locations were selected following a competitive selection process, with the mobile network operators asked to nominate sites where they would build new or upgraded base stations to serve the black spot locations nominated by the public. The Government selected the locations in accordance with the criteria in the Programme Guidelines issued in December 2014.
