A resident app concept for Wokingham Borough
Council tax, parking, bins and updates in one place
A working concept built by a local resident, showing how one simple app could sit on top of the systems the council already runs.
Open the prototypeYou’ll be asked for the personal username and password sent to you by email. It works best on a phone, and opens on a computer too.
What you can try
Every screen uses sample data, so nothing you tap is real or saved.
- Park without the machinePick a saved vehicle and a duration. No number plate to type.
- Pay council taxSee the next instalment and pay in two taps.
- Report an issuePotholes, missed bins, fly-tipping, with a reference and status updates.
- Check bin daysYour collection calendar, with a reminder the evening before.
- Book from UpdatesCouncil news and events by topic, with reduced parking added in one tap.
How it would fit
Designed as a low-risk pilot that works with what the council already has.
Built on existing systems
The app connects to current suppliers rather than replacing them.

Start small
Phase one links into existing services, so it needs no supplier work or change of contract.
Safe by design
Card payments stay with the council’s providers. Accessibility and UK GDPR built in from day one.
