@PhilRumens @LocalGovDigital Great idea Phil - we could use the existing #planning-data-and-software channel and direct people towards that? Or set up a new one specifically for the fund.

Do you have a strong opinion? I'll get things moving today or Monday at the latest

[Matt Wood-Hill @futureofmatt]

We have launched a new fund for councils to improve or design new digital services for planning applications.
We have 5 million available overall for 25 successful councils. Please share far and wide!
