Sheerness played host to Welsh Secretary and Minister for Digital Inclusion Paul Murphy who visited the town yesterday on his first ever trip to a UK online centre. Derek Wyatt, MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey, took the Minister along to see the 1st Byte @ Sheerness centre on Hope Street. The centre, like 6,000 other UK online centres across England, helps local people get to grips with computers and the internet. Paul Murphy chatted with visitors about their experiences, and met with Centre Manager Clive Elliott and Head of Delivery at UK online centres Rob Tate to discuss local and national digital inclusion issues.
