York is to continue its digital journey following an announcement that a number of Community Hubs will receive free WiFi in spring 2015.
The WiFi installation is funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), as part of York’s status as one of 22 SuperConnected Cities and is the latest step in City of York Council’s Digital City campaign.
The free WiFi will be available to residents and visitors while they are in public space. The provision will allow events and seminars to take place and will also help residents communicate with relatives and friends digitally.
WiFi will be installed in the following Community Hubs:
- 68 Youth Centre
- Bell Farm Community Centre
- Burton Stone Community Centre
- Castlegate 29
- Clarence Street 30 (Sycamore House)
