THE Mayor of Preston is preparing to launch himself into cyberspace.

Mayor, Councillor Geoff Swarbrick, will officially open the the borough council's new website at Moor Nook County Primary School next week.

It will be launched in the Preston school's new computer suite.

Coun Swarbrick said: "I am delighted to be able to launch the council's website on such an important day for the school.

"I am hoping that the children of Moor Nook will be able to show me how to enjoy my journey into cyberspace - it's a bit nerve-wracking proposition for me at the moment, but I am sure they will soon show me how easy it is.

"I am looking forward to receiving lots of e-mails from them!"
