Wood Street Hub: E17 App 

Local social enterprise Significant Seams has worked with App17, The E List, Transport for London data, and Do-It.com to create a hyperlocal phone app for residents of, and visitors to, the Wood Street area in Walthamstow. This app- is free and available to download from Itunes- contains live bus times, an up to the minute events calendar of what's on in the area, Facebook and Twitter updates as well as current volunteer opportunities across the area. You can find the app on Itunes as 'Wood Street Hub". To support the further development of the app contact Catherine.
