Tharraing làrach-lìn Comhairle Earra-Ghàidheal is Bhòid, leth mhillean neach-tadhail an-uiridh, agus bha 45% dhiubh a’ cleachdadh uidheaman-làimhe.

Tha seo a’ dol leis an sgrùdadh nàiseanta as ùire bho Ofcom a sheall gu bheil àrdachadh anabarrach mòr air a bhith san àireamh dhaoine a tha dol air an eadar-lìon tro uidheam-làimhe.

Rinn Ceannard Phoileasaidhean na Comhairle airson Seirbheisean Fiosrachadh Teicneòlais is Taic do Luchd-cleachdaidh, an Comhairliche Dick Walsh, moladh air an obair a chaidh a dhèanamh agus làrach-lìn an ùghdarrais a’ cosnadh ceithir rionnagan bho Chomann Rianachd Fiosrachadh Teicneòlais (Socitm). Thuirt e, “Tha làrach-lìn aig a’ chomhairle a tha air duaisean a chosnadh agus air am faigh daoine le uidheaman-làimhe làn chothrom, agus tha sin a’ ciallachadh gu bheil ar làrach air aon den fhichead as fheàrr aig ùghdarrasan ionadail san Rìoghachd Aonaichte.

“Tha mar a tha piseach air tighinn air ruigsinneachd ar làrach-lìn a’ ciallachadh gum faigh barrachd dhaoine cothrom air agus gun tèid againn air seirbheis nas iomlaine agus nas goireasaiche a thoirt do dhaoine sna dachaighean aca agus nuair a tha iad a’ siubhal no a-muigh.

“Tha an làrach-lìn mar uinneig trom faod duine sam bith air an t-saoghal sealladh fhaotainn air Earra-Ghàidheal is Bòd agus air an iomadh cothrom eadar-dhealaichte a gheibhear an seo a tha a’ fàgail na sgìre mar àite air leth airson a bhith fuireach ann, ag obair ann, a’ tadhal air agus airson gnothachas.”

The council’s Policy Lead for IT services and customer support, Council Leader Dick Walsh, praised the work which has seen the authority’s website win four stars from the Society of Information Technology Management (Socitm).
