Cllr Jayne Lonergan, Cabinet Member for Resources, said:

“Being online unlocks a range of opportunities, from how you manage your money and find work to how you access council services and keep in touch with other people.

“If you’re seeking advice or looking to explore digital advancements, there are sessions where you can get help and support throughout the week.

“If you don’t have access to a device at home, simply visit your local library to use our tablets, or PCs free of charge.”
