One of the Apps we recommend for versatile use in the borough of Tower Hamlets.

This App is run via Council services but would be ideal also for Neighbourhood Watch purposes to connect to Police, but it would need for the Police to adopt this as reporting method, which they currently do not do.

Love Your Neighbourhood is used by various local authorities and after you’ve downloaded it, you choose the borough you are in.

Then you get an amazing menu:

• Report it
  • Fantastic reporting tool for a variety of issues and you get a lot of categories to report to. It’s best to scroll the menu and get used to the options as you use the App.
  • Main categories are
    • Cleansing
    • Highways
    • Parks
  • Describe the issue you want to report
  • Choose category
  • Take or use a photo already present
  • circle the area of concern on the photo before you safe it to the report
  • Mapping is automatic to the area you are in.
  • report with contact or anonymously
• Love it
  • Describe
  • take photo
  • send report
• Breathe Clean
  • provides an air quality forecast for 3 days
• Waste & Recycling
  • Waste recycling schedule
  • Recycling banks map
  • bulky waste collection
• What’s On
  • Social events in the borough for kids and adults
• Road Notices
  • Road issues on a map
  • and on a list
• Get Involved

This would be an ideal app to use for Neighbourhood Watchers to deal with council issues. I always recommend people to download this lovely tool.

As already stated, this could be adapted for police reporting use.
