Calls for a Town Digital Hub for Sidmouth

People no longer work simply in offices or 'workplaces':
Futures Forum: The changing value of work

There are some very interesting ideas out there:
Futures Forum: Community enterprise in Frome @ Radio 4 >>> keeping rents low and chain stores at bay

Frome has developed the idea of the 'Digital Town Hub':
Futures Forum: Town Digital Hub

The latest Herald carried a call for Sidmouth to develop such a centre:

Interestingly, the Tym’s Report quoted in the draft Local Plan suggests several strategies for Sidmouth, and yet the District Council has not included the innovative mixed-use notion of ‘industrial/hybrid scheme’ or the high-tech solution of a ‘work-hub’:

“Sidmouth: Replace existing poor stock; Occupier expansion land; Potential for small industrial/hybrid scheme; Work-hub to encourage entrepreneurs”
