Councillors have been issued with laptops, to make significant savings in both cost and the impact on the environment.

Dramatic savings will be made as a result of going paperless across the 43 councillors. The first full council meeting in September saved the council £4833 on printing costs, which is over 14,000 sheets of paper.
