Residents already enjoying benefits of Bracknell digital TV service

Bracknell Forest’s new digital television service is proving popular with residents as it is already one of the top 20 visited Council sites.

The service was launched less than three months ago by Bracknell Forest Borough Council to increase access to electronic services to people living in the borough.

Over the next few months there are plans to add new services including Buy With Confidence - the Council’s list of reputable local businesses, and the e+ directory which has deals and discounts in more than 1,000 local shops, restaurants and businesses.

The Bracknell Digital TV service is available by selecting the Looking Local menu option through the interactive button on your TV remote control. You can access the service if you have Sky or Virgin Media or a Freeview box with a modem.

Visitors to the pages can also take part in a competition to win family saver tickets to the hands-on science exhibition at the Look Out Discovery Centre. The competition runs until the end of November.

Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Bracknell Leisure, Corporate Services and Public Protection, said: "Our Digital TV service is proving to be a real winner. There's lots of information already available including travel information and job vacancies and more to come, there's even a chance to win tickets to The Look Out, it really is worth taking a look.”
