GeoVation winners to tackle Britain’s neighbourhoods

New apps and tools aimed at transforming Britain’s neighbourhoods to be launched with funding from Ordnance Survey.

An idea for a mobile app which would help the public to nominate sites for offenders to work on, has triumphed in Ordnance Survey’s GeoVation Challenge. 

The app called ‘Community Payback Visibility’, by the Staffordshire and West Midlands Probation Trust, would also allow the public to keep tabs on how work on these chosen areas is progressing. The idea was awarded £40,000 by Ordnance Survey so the app can start to be developed.
