DigiTV Information Service
What is it?
The Neath Port Talbot Council digital TV service contains
information provided by local services and community
organisations.
It is available to households who subscribe to Virgin Media or
Sky digital television or through the Nintendo Wii or internet
enabled mobile phones.
The service allows people to get local information and use
services using their TV and remote control. It is particularly
valuable for people who don't have access to a computer and the
internet. As well as using the service to find information,
residents can also give us feedback and ask questions. This
interactivity is an important part of the service. It allows
residents to stay at home yet still ask questions, request services
or ask for information.
What can you find on the site?
The service offers lots of pages of information from Neath Port
Talbot Council and other public sector organisations. Our main
content areas are:
Advice and Information
Advice and online services from a number of different
organisations. Users can find out about a wide range of topics
including Health, Housing, Community Safety, Transport and
Employment.
Services
Users can request waste collections, report anti-social
behaviour and street problems, look for a job and use many
other services.
Searches
Users can search for jobs from Jobcentre Plus and bus and train
times.

What's happened so far?
The service launched on Thursday April 1st 2010 at 9am. We
will be working with partners over the coming months to expand the
service in the future and are hoping to include such things as GP
appointment bookings, a prescription ordering service, reserving
library books and discussion forums. If you have any suggestions
for new services, please let us know by using our
contact form.
