Libraries: public access computers

I would like to see libraries or community centres who provide public access computer facilities open. This would only for those who need access to free wifi or a use of computer to access their universal credit journal online amongst other things. Space between computer stations could be regulated and computer equipment, desks and chairs can all be wiped down between users. Limits on the number of people in the building and areas that can be accessed can be controlled.

Why the contribution is important

This would allow those who are in digital deprivation some access to manage their own accounts and would allow advice providers such as Citizens Advice, Shelter etc to continue to work remotely knowing that clients can access e-mails or their journal.
It would allow people to access health and wellbeing information online if they are unable to do this at home.
It could provide victims of abuse another way of contacting services in a safe environment.
