Following a discussion with Rachel Roberts and Paul Sandham, the council discussed costs and whether to accept the community wifi contract.

It was recommended to sign the agreement as it will benefit local businesses.

The council also agreed to discuss it further in a year to see whether it is successful and to offer a fee of £1 for 24 hours with the first 90 minutes free, and also to request a box on the community centre.

In the meantime it was reported that the majority of the forms for businesses have been completed and it is hoped the scheme will move forward soon.
