A new app to make accessing council services even easier has been launched.
The app allows people to report issues, read news and set up reminders in one simple to use tool.
Residents can also search and comment on planning applications, find their nearest car park, library or place to eat, get in touch with their local councillor and set up waste collection reminders.
The free app is available to download from the Google Play or Apple App store with residents simply needing to search Mid Devon District Council to find and install the app onto their smartphone or mobile device, or simply scan the QR code below. Any data on the app remains on an individual’s phone and is not retained by the Council.
Designed with simplicity and accessibility in mind, the app is easy to use and compliments existing channels such as email, website and phone. By offering a simple to use self-service option for common queries, it also helps free up phone lines for those residents who need more personalised support or wish to speak to a member of staff.
To download the app to your phone via either the Apple or Google Play Store please click on the link below.
