The Wider View came live from Newbliss this afternoon to highlight the growth of working hubs in the region and the benefits that they bring.

Ronan Gargan was finding out how working from home and working locally in a hub is breathing new life into communities.

Newbliss Digi:Hub is set in a beautifully restored protected building, offering a modern workspace with historic charm.

The hub has over 30 people daily using the facility and in turn is having a huge benefit on the entire village and the other businesses in it.

During the programme, Ronan has been finding out about the many benefits of remote working and the future of working locally has going forward.
