A NEW Citizens Advice Bureau has opened in Cyber Space offering round-the-clock and up-to-the-minute advice.

Based on some of the information CAB advisors use to deal with more than six million problems every year the website, at www.adviceguide.org.uk, also links to CAB e-mail advice.

The on-line service covers everything from employment, housing, family matters and the legal system to tax, benefits and civil rights.

Crewe CAB manager, Wendy Tozer, said: "Adviceguide is not a substitute for a human advisor but for many people it will be a convenient starting point to solving problems and a link to other advice."
