The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister announced on Tuesday £6 million of investment in areas such as a video call centre for deaf people, wireless computers for council staff working out of the office and electronic 'smart tag' system for housing repairs.

The announcement was part of the second round of its £14 million e-innovations fund, to support the development of ITC among councils.

The projects all come under four main headings: tackling social exclusion through IT; using technology to achieve efficiency savings; promoting better leadership in local government; and local authority e-business.© DeHavilland Information Services plc
