Wagga Neighbourhood Watch partners with 'Snap Send Solve' app to improve city's livability

Wagga Neighbourhood Watch have partnered with the community reporting app Snap Send Solve, which allows users to take photos of an issue in their community, report it to the relevant organisation in charge, and see action taken to solve the problem.

"It could be something like rubbish all over a footpath, maybe a bin that has been set alight, or even dodgy footpaths," Wagga Neighbourhood Watch president Wayne Deaner said.

"A lot of people get confused with who to call in these situations, whether it be the council or similar, or they simply don't want to call because they often get left on hold and it can take forever, so this app allows people to get something reported to the relevant authority quickly and without a fuss."

Mr Deaner said the partnership was made as the app's goal of community safety overlapped with that of Neighbourhood Watch, and Wagga had areas that needed tending to.

"You only have to drive down Bruce Street in Tolland to see the rubbish and mess, it looks like a war zone," he said.

While the process may seem like a small gesture toward the bigger picture, Mr Deaner said it all adds up.

"We need to report in order to get things done," he said.

"This is our neighbourhood, this is where we live.

"I know myself, I want to live in a beautiful community and this is another tool people can use to help achieve that."
