Local resident builds new app to bring Buckingham news, events and businesses together
A Buckingham resident has launched a new local app aimed at making it easier for people to keep up with what’s happening in the town. The app, called InBuckingham, brings together local news, events and businesses in one place, helping residents find information that is often scattered across social media, noticeboards and different websites.
The idea for InBuckingham came from the difficulty many residents face when trying to find reliable local information. Important updates, events and business announcements are often spread across multiple Facebook groups and platforms, making them easy to miss.
InBuckingham is being developed as a free, non-commercial community information hub, with the focus on usefulness rather than advertising. The aim is to provide a simple, central place where residents can see what’s going on locally and where businesses can be easily discovered.
The app is currently still in development and is not yet available to download, but is expected to launch soon. Feedback from local residents, businesses and community organisations is being used to help shape the final version ahead of release.
The long-term goal is for the app to support the Buckingham community by improving access to local information and complementing existing local groups and organisations, rather than replacing them.
