The title of the first theme of the Kent Connects Developing Solutions challenge.

There are many opportunities for how the use of technology could improve your neighbourhood, whether it’s to help people find a voice, share skills for a good cause, or even organise community cleanups

Viv provided examples of prototypes using OS OpenData and OS OpenSpace in her recent post about the challenge.

I have also found some OpenSpace applications, which may help developing ideas for prototypes following this theme.

• Conservation volunteering with the Hamsphire Conservation Volunteers.

• Sharing information about allotments in and around London.

• Conducting a survey in Yorkshire to help improve housing provision.
• Supporting Anglesey’s local grazing scheme , working to link land of wildlife and conservation interest with graziers and farmers who can supply suitable grazing stock for the benefit of the wildlife.
