Local Authority Directory
A simple, production-ready directory of services that can help residents cope if they're staying at home due to the coronavirus pandemic.
USE CASES
Originally commissioned by Camden Borough Council, in London, it has: a simple search page where the user selects the kind of help they need and gives their postcode, a results page showing relevant services, nearest first; and a read-only API for other applications to integrate.
The most recent beta version also includes an optional map view, a recommended service feature, which bumps one service per category to the top of the list, admin user accounts and a proper admin panel, and a form for the public to submit their own service suggestions
HIGHLIGHTS:
Examples of the Directory in action can be found here and here. The FutureGov team have put together a useful walkthrough of the service at the Github link below.
