Cabinet considered a report recommending the provision of a Council owned tablet computer to all councillors following the local elections in May 2019 and a reduced IT allowance of £250 for the four year term of office to cover any additional costs.

Resolved to approve:

1.    The provision of a council owned tablet to councillors after the May 2019 election for use with Modern.Gov

2.    Councillors receive an IT allowance of £250 to cover any additional costs for the four year term of office.

Reason for the decision

The use of an iPad or Tablet by councillors will result in efficiencies and financial savings for the Council.
