Hampshire County Council are pleased to advise today that our new mobile app, ‘OurHants’, is now live – available for Apple and Android mobile devices.
It is hoped to be able to offer many online services through the easy-to use mobile interface on the new app.
It is, of course, extremely important that the County Council’s reputation for reliability and high standards is reflected by the quality of the online offer, and they are therefore moving forward into this new territory in small steps, starting by offering the full range of County Council web pages, to allow residents to access all services, and new functionality in one of the most widely used online services – the booking of appointments for Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRCs).
When booking an appointment at an HWRC, the OurHants app allows individuals to save details if they wish, such as the registration of their vehicle, and any permits they have, to make future bookings quicker. It also allows people to see and manage their bookings in one place and will notify the user of any important updates about their booking.
The County Council will be reviewing how people respond to the app and measuring the benefit to both customers and the HWRC service. This will allow us to plan the future growth of the app into other areas of online service.
Anyone can download the app, without charge, from the Apple or Google Play app stores. You may wish to let your contacts know about this new service, and please do try it next time you need to visit an HWRC.
