Know what's happening on your street.

Fly-tipping, theft, a lost cat, a pothole that's going to break someone's ankle. Reported with a photo and a pin, so your neighbours can actually find it later.

500 people. One group chat. Nothing you can find.

A break-in on your road gets three replies, then disappears under forty messages about a missing wheelie bin. No locations, no search, no history.

TownEye gives every report a category, a time, a pin and a photo, so it can be found, filtered and remembered.

The whole week, on one map.

Six kinds of report, each with its own pin. You choose the category yourself; nothing is guessed from your photo.

  • Fly-tippingBags, mattresses, rubble
  • TheftParcels, bikes, vans
  • Antisocial behaviourWhat happened, never who
The TownEye home screen: a map of Failsworth with coloured pins, a time filter, and this week's reports sliding up from below — the first showing fly-tipping in a back alley.
  • Lost or found petWith a photo, while it's fresh
  • Road and infrastructurePotholes, lights, drains
  • OtherAnything the street should know

Reported in under a minute. From the pavement.

  1. Take a photo, or don't

    Faces in shot? Say so and a local moderator checks it before anyone else sees it.

  2. Pick what it is

    Six categories. The pin drops where you're standing; drag it or type a street instead.

  3. Your street sees it

    On the map and in the feed straight away. No signal? It waits on your phone and sends itself later.

The reporting screen: photo options above a list of the six categories.

What TownEye will never do.

  • Let you report people

    There's no "suspicious person" button, and there never will be. You report what happened, not who you think did it.

  • Recognise faces

    None, anywhere. A photo showing someone recognisable goes to a local moderator first.

  • Become another group chat

    No messaging, no threads for the sake of it. This exists to cut the noise, not move it somewhere new.

  • Track you, or sell your data

    Local businesses sponsor the app — the same advert shown to everyone, never chosen by what you read or where you live. No ad networks, no brokers, no profiling.

The search screen, filtering past reports by keyword, category and date.

Search "van". See every break-in on your roads.

Filter to fly-tipping in the last month. Check whether the corner's been reported before, or whether it's just you.

Told about what matters, not everything. You choose the categories and how close. It starts with theft and antisocial behaviour within 800 metres.

Your street, in one place.

Free for Failsworth residents. Join the pilot and we'll send you the app when your group is invited.
