A COMMUNITY group has been given a computer to get residents surfing the net.

The computer for the Cockerton And Branksome Living Enterprise, in Darlington, came from the BT community connections awards scheme.

The computer will be available for everyone living in Cockerton and Branksome.

It will be part of the one-stop shop in Whitby Way, which has been open for two years.

The computer will provide a job search for people looking for work, as well as access to the latest vacancies.

The centre also gives residents access to the Citizens Advice Bureau and information about other support agencies in the town.

To use the computer, call (01325) 354084.
