More than 50 public buildings in Bradford have had free wi-fi installed for visitors to use as part of the multi-million pound SuperConnected Cities programme.

Libraries, visitor centres, community halls, museums and children’s homes are all benefitting from the Government-funded national scheme to invest in broadband and wireless capabilities in key areas.

A total of 23 Bradford’s libraries now benefit from the free wi-fi, as well as 12 children’s centres, four museums/galleries and a community centre.

Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, Bradford Council’s executive member for employment, skills and culture, said: “It has proved a major bonus for our library customers and is particularly useful for students.

“Many customers also use their own devices, which frees up the Council-provided PCs for those who don’t have access to the internet.”

Free wi-fi has now been extended to most of City Hall including the new registrar waiting room and the bridal waiting rooms.
