The Importance of Action
Councils play a vital role in connecting communities and delivering essential services, but without access to the right digital solutions, challenges can grow over time. Through our discussions with councils, we have identified potential risks of not taking appropriate action, highlighting the need for scalable, community-focused solutions.
Key risks councils are looking to mitigate:
- Declining engagement & trust – Outdated platforms reduce community participation and confidence in local services.
- Inaccessibility for diverse residents – Some residents face barriers to accessing essential council services.
- Inefficiencies in service management – Disconnected systems slow service delivery and increase admin burdens.
- Limited data-driven decision-making – Without insights, councils struggle to measure impact and optimise resources.
- Struggling to meet public expectations – Residents expect increased visibility, engagement and seamless service experiences.
- Increasing costs & budget strain – Standalone solutions drive higher operational costs and strain limited budgets.
This is why Loci is passionate about partnering with councils – working together to mitigate these challenges and risks while supporting councils in their vital and critical role within communities, recognising the great work they do.

Why Stronger Communities Matter
Communities thrive when people have access to information, support, and opportunities to engage with the places they live and work. However, many councils face challenges in digital engagement, service accessibility, and community participation, making it harder for them to effectively connect with residents and businesses.
That’s where Loci comes in—bridging the gap between councils, businesses, and residents with a scalable, cost-effective platform that makes community engagement more seamless and impactful.
