It certainly will and already has saved paper, but more importantly the project is to save money and again already has started to save money with the pilot currently in progress!

Everyone's always got bad things to say about the council and police! - People will never be happy with the service they get!!! Anything for a moan and a whinge...

Go on then Ian I am convinced about the I pads. Jonathon has convinced me that the councilors need them for instant and recorded information. Enjoy them!

I must say that I am grateful that people have actually decide to question this matter in a polite and gracious manner. It is a difficult time at the moment with money being tight everywhere and people are right to question the council on where money is being spent.

But this trial will save money, this trial will also mean that information is saved rather than being on paper and getting lost/destroyed etc. It will also mean that Councillors are instantly available.

To Stylekatt - The planning department have no iPads. So wherever you 'heard' this it is completely wrong.
