The public access computers are now working as normal.
We are still experiencing some technical issues with our IT network meaning that the Public Access computers are currently not working. The issue is being worked on and we are trying to get them back online as soon as possible. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Have fun making penny spinners at the Park Craft Table after school today.
