DEAF residents are invited to help the council test out new equipment to make it easier for them to access services.

Greenwich Council the and Royal National Institute for the Deaf will launch a Videophone Interpreting Service at the Housing and Council Tax Benefit Office in Woolwich High Street, Woolwich.

The phone is part of a wider council bid to make its services accessible to people.

Residents can try it out at the council benefit office tomorrow from 5pm to 7pm.

Council staff will also be on hand to help out and take comments. Call 020 8921 6058.
