Inspiration

Currently, when a resident reports a pothole or a broken streetlight, the report disappears into a digital void. They receive no updates, no timeline, and no explanation. This lack of feedback breeds apathy and distrust in local government.

At the same time, our physical communities are fragmenting. Despite living next to neighbours for years, statistics show most people interact with them a few times a month. We wanted to build a platform that solves both the vertical disconnect (citizen to state) and the horizontal disconnect (neighbour to neighbour).

What it does

NeighbourHub tries to reboot this reporting system to allow any resident in the neighbourhood to view all the reports in the surrounding area and its status. Residents can view information like what actions the Council have took, other resident comments and upvotes. Turning negative reports into collective _ and allow the Council to become more transparent and build trust between residents and the Council.

To bring the community together the application also includes useful features such as different chats with your immediate neighbours, your street and local town or village where you can organise social events or ask to borrow some salt if you ran out. It also includes local news and events to promote social events, remind you to put out your bin, inform you of any road closures, or updates from the local MP.

All residents reports are sent to a council dashboard where a staff member can organise to resolve the issue. The dashboard shows insights such as current active reports, reports per week and the category of the reports. The staff member can update the status of a report and add comments for either the staff or residents to see.

How we built it

NeighbourHub was built using the Flutter framework following a MVVM lite architecture with Riverpod for state management.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was tyring to get the content to become dynamic using an address which is now for a future iteration of NeighbourHub.
