Bidding has opened for a new £7.5m fund for councils to improve services through digital innovation.
Grants of up to £100,000 are available for projects which demonstrate they benefit local public services and have the potential to be rolled out across the country.
Local government minister Rishi Sunak said: “Digital innovation is re-shaping our lives, and many local authorities are at the forefront of embracing technology in ingenious ways to improve services for the public.
“Whether it’s an app to report fly-tipping, or a slick web solution to pay your council tax, we want to know the best ideas so we can help to make them happen.”
