Details (2) DETAILS (2) The Blackpool4Me web portal, will act as the access to community information and interactions between Blackpool groups and organisations.  It will also be accessible from other computers, and links will be created from other public access points such as those in the ERDF funded City Learning Centre, the Layton Library project and Palatine Learning Centre development. Blackpool4Me is also accessible from home computers and all internet compatible machines. It will act as a community directory for the town and enable residents of ,and visitors to, Blackpool to access a wide variety of information. This will include information on community activities and advice and guidance on education, training and employment opportunities. The website will also link to other sources of relevant information for example, the job opportunities advertised by the Job Centre, Connexions and the local colleges. Blackpool4Me will have important links with Blackpool Borough Council’s Customer First Initiative. This initiative will provide a first contact and advice source for members of the public on all issues relating to council activities. It will offer remotely accessible information and advice and allow communication with council staff, via email and messaging services and actively promote ICT usage as an alternative form of accessing information. In addition to this the Kiosks will provide a free phone service direct to the Customer First help desk enabling ease of contact. This project is a two-year project funded in the first phase by ERDF funding. This project will be mainstreamed after two years when it will move into an extended and enhanced second phase of delivery. This project will assist in the development of an inclusive “electronic community,” a key target for Blackpool’s established e-Community Partnership.
