Town Digital Hub

There are plans to develop a 'hub' on the seafront
Futures Forum: Developing a hub for Sidmouth's seafront
Sidmouth Drill Hall Hub CIC | Promoting positive regeneration

And there are plans to provide 'hubs' for District Council services:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: 'modern working practices' >>> Of Worksmart, Hubs and Hot-desking
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: the promise of 'hubs' and putting the cart before the horse
District Council costing the provision of hubs - a Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council - WhatDoTheyKnow
Hot-desking - a Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council - WhatDoTheyKnow

'Heath hubs' are now the fashion:

Budleigh Salterton Health and Wellbeing Hub to Open in Spring 2017
Budleigh Salterton “Health Hub” – the “hospital” with no beds | East Devon Watch

A very interesting project unfolding in Frome is the 'town digital hub':




Kate Hellard (Community Projects Officer) and Peter Macfadyen (Leader of Frome Town Council) discuss why Frome Town Council commissioned a Town Digital Hub.

It's a project put together by the RSA:

Welcome to the group for Town Digital Hub - your one stop shop for better local living.

Council budgets have been reduced by a third since 2012 and deeper cuts lie ahead. To avoid public services crisis, councils must collaborate with other sectors on a new localism.

Town Digital Hub is a revolutionary non-profit Web platform, based on modern psychology and collaboration theory, that allows local government, community organisations, and local businesses to work together to address directly the personal goals of citizens, eliminate gaps/overlaps in provision, and reduce costs on all sides.

Help us take to other communities a collaborative approach that is transforming the way public services are delivered, improving quality of life, and providing a safety net for austerity.
