(Birmingham, UK) 25 February Digital technology can bring neighbours together in useful ways. Today, there are many apps designed to help you be a better neighbour. But you don't need these neighbourhood apps to improve your area. You can do it with basic social media and messaging apps that people use already. I set up successful online groups on my street in Birmingham. Four years ago, I was worried about crime in the area and I knew lots of my neighbours felt the same. I wanted to help and I found out about neighbourhood apps. I decided they weren't right for our neighbourhood. Some of them were expensive and they didn't have the things I was looking for. Instead, I set up chat groups called Stoke Road Neighbours Together on Facebook and WhatsApp. I asked my neighbours to join the groups when I saw them in the street. At first, we only used the groups to share information about local crime. After three months, most families in my street were members. They were sharing information and reporting crimes to the police. My street felt safer because the neighbours were communicating more. We also learned that everyone gets on really well with each other! H Soon, people were sharing other kinds of information in the chat groups. There was information about events and activities going on in the area. The neighbours talked about volunteering and raising money. Some members recommended local places to visit, or where to find somebody to help with problems. Others used the groups to give away items like old tents or rugs. The groups are still popular today - what a victory for community spirit! Social media and messaging apps were very successful in my street. I think modern technology can help you to live in harmony with your neighbours. You will feel safer, too. Thanks to the chat groups, Stoke Road is a better place to live! victory (noun) [C/U] success in a game or task spirit (noun) [U] the feeling of a person or group of people Unit 2
