What is LocalPoint?

At LocalPoint you can share information with your neighbourhood. You can anounce for example your yearly street BBQ, or you can post a message that you are looking for your runaway cat. The town council could, for example, also post a message that they are carrying out some maintance on the roads in your neighbourhood. Any information that is worthwhile for a particular neighbourhood can be posted.

You can easily find messages from a particular neighbourhood by entering the postal code for that neighbourhood. Besides messages posted by the LocalPoint users, you can also find webadresses from shops, health services, the town council, sport facilities etc. in your neighbourhood. In the future LocalPoint will extend the amount of information.
