For neighbourhoods and neighborhoods

A neighbourhood noticeboard people can actually find again.

Give your neighbourhood one open, searchable place for local notices, useful information, events and trusted community contacts.

A neighbourhood does not need a formal association to benefit from one trusted information place. PutBoard can serve a street, village, estate, district or local area when a small group takes responsibility for keeping information accurate.

The information gap

Important information needs somewhere dependable to live.

Local knowledge is often spread between social groups, message threads, flyers, council pages and word of mouth. New arrivals and less-connected neighbours may not know where to look, while useful posts quickly disappear from view.

PutBoard creates a simple online community noticeboard for agreed local information. It complements neighbourhood conversation by giving useful notices, guidance, dates and contacts a lasting, searchable location.

Keep information on PutBoard. Let conversations happen elsewhere.

What belongs on the Board

A clear place for each kind of information.

PutBoard separates current updates from information people need over time.

Noticeboard

Noticeboard

Local works, disruptions, lost services, public consultations and practical updates.

Information

Information

Waste collection, transport, local guidance, public facilities and frequently requested links.

Events

Events

Markets, meetings, clean-ups, festivals, workshops and local activities.

Directory

Directory

Public services, community groups, venues, local organisations and useful businesses.

Open or protected

Choose the boundary that fits your community.

An open Board is usually the best fit for neighbourhood information because anyone can view it without joining a platform. Password protection remains available for a clearly bounded private community.

Trusted managers publish and maintain the information. Viewing stays simple: people open one web address from a phone or computer, and can add the Board to their Home Screen.

A focused product

PutBoard is an information home—not an all-in-one platform.

PutBoard is not a neighbourhood social network, classifieds site, reporting service or public discussion forum. Publishing remains in the hands of trusted managers.

  • Easy for trusted people to publish and update
  • Search across notices, pages, events, contacts and documents
  • No advertising, engagement tricks or public posting feed
  • Information is preserved when plan entitlements change

Common questions

Using PutBoard for neighbourhoods.

Do we need a formal neighbourhood organisation?

No. What matters is that identified, trusted people accept responsibility for publishing accurate community information.

Can any neighbour post directly?

No. PutBoard is a trusted noticeboard, not an unrestricted public feed. The Board’s managers decide who can publish.

How is this different from a neighbourhood social group?

Social groups are good for conversation. PutBoard is designed for information people need to locate later without searching through a feed.
