The Herstmonceux Village Information Centre on is proud to have been chosen to receive a grant from East Sussex County Council to extend its information communications technology.

 

With the grant, the Centre has now installed

• New PCs and broadband internet connection, available to both residents and visitors. 
• A new colour printer-scanner-copier for public use.

 

This enables the Centre to extend the Information Service which it currently offers to the local community and visitors. The Centre is now planning training facilities, particularly for young people in the area, to help them to learn and use information and communication technology skills to find employment.
 

The new facilities mean that you can prepare your own documents on a PC and print them out or send them attached to your emails, etc. You can also browse and download information from the internet and print it out. There will be a small charge for the use of the PCs and internet access as well as for printing and copying, but being a Registered Charity, the Centre's charging rate can be less than those made by commercial organisations.
 

Herstmonceux Village Information Centre is also a BT Open Zone Hotspot in East Sussex for wireless internet connection. Anyone with a "wi-fi" laptop within the vicinity of the Centre on Gardner Street can use the Hotspot to access the internet. A Public Information Point (PiP) is already available in the Centre.

 

In the near future the grant will also be used for other refurbishment and improvements in the Centre.
