John Oakes, Falkirk Council’s digital communities programme co-ordinator, said: “Our supported accommodation units house some of society’s most vulnerable people,
many of whom depend on internet access for jobs, benefits and support.
“Providing such units with free WiFi means we’re making it easier for residents to access these important resources and opportunities.”
