To create an app that is easy to use for local residents and visitors to check the latest coronavirus advice on the town.
The local council needed a way to be able to quickly communicate with the public to let them know about the safety measures that are taking place, as well as the shops and restaurants that are open for business.
The new Visit Middlesbrough App is now available in the iOS and Android app stores.
It provides a tool for residents and visitors to see the latest news, valuable safety information around the covid crisis, an up-to-date listing of local shops and restaurants that are open for business and realtime footfall data from the town centre.
The Visit Middlesbrough app is the first step towards a ‘smart city’ approach for Middlesbrough, whereby technology is used to enhance visitor experience, share information with residents and improve the quality of services.
