Loci: Your Local Community App

The Loci App brings together the essential parts of local life in one trusted place. Designed with residents and local councils, it helps you stay informed, stay organised and stay connected to where you live. Whether you want to check your bin day, find a council service, keep an eye on important updates in your area or ask your neighbours for help, Loci gives you a simple and reliable way to manage everyday tasks.

Loci is an independent community platform developed by Loci App Ltd and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the UK Government or any local authority. All council-related information and services remain the responsibility of the relevant council. Loci simply helps users access official council information more easily by linking directly to the original council webpages.

Loci begins with a clear set of practical features that make local life easier. Instead of searching through different websites or following scattered updates, you will find the information you need presented cleanly and without clutter. The app focuses on accuracy, ease of use and strong privacy standards. Loci does not process council transactions or service requests and does not replace official council systems.
