Digital UK has launched an online guide for councils and their strategic partners to help them prepare for digital switchover:
Backed by Baroness Andrews, Communities and Local Government Minister, the site (
www.digitaluk.co.uk/localgov) explains the impact of digital television on services such as housing and social care, trading standards and the implications for energy efficiency, waste disposal and planning as well as providing a checklist to make sure councils are prepared for digital switchover.
