We're very keen and enthusiastic advocates of using technology to to discover and explore local data or access local services. Dale Ridley the OpenDataCommunities technical architect has developed a demonstrator mobile phone app to do just that.
What does it do
In the first major release the phone app will;
- Discovers your nearest local council
- Explore local council services
- Explore council services in other areas
It allows easy navigation of services in a local authority.
The next release will let you explore and discover the local authority data held on OpenDataCommunities.
