The free tool that keeps you informed about changes in your local area

A free Public Notice Portal is positioned as a practical way to track official changes that could affect daily life, from planning approvals to road closures and licensing decisions. The article explains that public notices are formal announcements by councils, local authorities, businesses and individuals, providing a legal safeguard and time for the public to respond before decisions are finalised. Users can search notices by postcode, category or local authority, and register for email alerts for daily, weekly or monthly updates. The portal aggregates nearly 14,000 live notices and includes submissions contributed by registered local news publishers, such as Newsquest. It also notes that notices appear in local newspapers, including the Shuttle.
