PEOPLE across the borough can now enjoy a new ‘app’-roach to contacting Dudley Council.

A new mobile app has been launched which lets people use their phone to send in pictures of potholes, dumped rubbish, faulty street lights and graffiti in order to report issues to the council.

Council tenants will also be able to send in pictures with reports of housing repairs they require through the free ‘Dudley Council’ app as part of its Love Your Community campaign.

The app will also allow residents to find out the latest news and information from the council and search for new jobs and latest train and bus times.

Councillor Stuart Turner, cabinet member for finance and ICT, said: “Through our work as a community council and via our Love Your Community campaign we are always looking at the best ways to communicate with our residents.

"This app is another way people can find out information and get engaged with the council to help ensure we keep the borough clean and tidy.”

The app is available on the iPhone and other smartphones and can be downloaded from the Apple app store and from the Google Playstore on android phones.
