Burnham & Highbridge Town Council votes to go paperless to save money Burnham and Highbridge Town Council is set to go paperless after councillors last night (Monday) voted in favour of moving into the digital age. During a virtual meeting of the full council, they voted to buy new tablet PCs for each councillor and use a ‘paperless meetings management system’ to replace paper copies of agendas, minutes and reports. Town Council Clerk Sam Winter told the meeting: “Electronic systems save many staff hours and many thousands of pounds and it must be the way forward. If we issue devices, everything is readily accessible, it puts everyone on a level playing field. You would all receive the same information at the same time on Town Council managed devices.”
