Parliamentarians launch digital forum website

Northern Isles parliamentarians Alistair Carmichael MP, Tavish Scott MSP and Liam McArthur MSP have launched a new website to help keep isles residents informed on local and national developments in digital services.

The Northern Isles Digital Forum website – http://nidigitalforum.wordpress.com – is designed to bring together news and policy announcements from the UK government, private companies and other agencies such as Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

In February, the isles representatives convened the first meetings of the Northern Isles Digital Forum, in Lerwick and Kirkwall, and it is hoped the website will build on these discussions.
