Blackburn with Darwen Council proposes £1.4m spend on new laptops for town hall staff
East Lancashire’s biggest local authority is proposing to spend £1.4million on new laptops for town hall staff.
In a report to senior colleagues he asks it to approve the resources required: £700,000 for 2023/24 and a further £700,000 for 2024/25. They will pay for more than 1,600 new laptops at £750 each.Cllr Hussain’s report says: “The council is entirely reliant on the use of information technology. Whilst there are employees who have no need to use technology directly, the majority of employees use a laptop for their daily work.
“To make sure we are able to do this work reliably and securely we must ensure our employees have equipment that is reliable and fit for purpose. At Blackburn with Darwen Council, we have in the region of 2,105 laptops in use. “An important consideration is the capability of a device to support a version of Windows that is secure. During 2025 our existing version of Windows will no longer receive security updates and protection and so older devices will become insecure. We will need to move to later versions of Windows.
