NELSON people can now surf the net -- by going back to school.

Mayor of Pendle Coun Sharon Davies officially opened Marsden Community Primary School's community computer suite, which allows all residents of Walverden and Cloverhill wards to use its email, internet and word processing facilities. The suite has been funded by Pendle Council and Pendle Partnership through neighbourhood renewal funding.

School spokesman Javed Khan said: "Anyone can come in and use the equipment in the suite.

"We are running open sessions and if anyone wants more information they can call me on 01282 610892 or 612769."
