Carmarthenshire residents can now access a range of council services through their television set, mobile phone ,Wii console and through an app on iPhones,iPads and iPod Touch with the launch of an innovative information channel – Looking Local.

The Council has developed a special TV channel called 'Carmarthenshire Looking Local' and anyone with Sky, Virgin or broadband connected Freeview boxes can find out more by pressing the interactive button on their remote.

The service is completely FREE to use and allows you to report a missed bin, abandoned car, graffiti or a broken street light. Request services or leaflets, find out about local amenities, opening times and a lot more. Sometimes when you just want a quick piece of information and you don't feel inclined to boot up your PC, remember the Carmarthenshire Looking Local service is available on your TV, from the comfort of your sofa, 24 hours a day seven days a week.

Not only are there services from the Council, but you can also plan a journey and access transport information using a service created by Transport Direct. You can also search for jobs locally or across the country using the Job Centre Plus database and access a range of information from Citizens Advice.

With the digital switchover rolled out across Wales this is a timely opportunity to provide residents with the ability to interact with Carmarthenshire County Council through a free and easy to use digital service anytime, anyplace, anywhere... even from the comfort of your own armchair and in using your television remote control it is through a device that everyone will be familiar with.
