Wendell Park residents join a Nextdoor party ore than 3,300 residents of Hammersmith & Fulham and Chiswick have joined new online social network Nextdoor .
And in H & F alone , more than 95 per cent of its neighbourhoods in the borough are now connected via Nextdoor . Wendell Park is the largest with almost 350 members .
The impressive number of newly connected neighbours make H & F one of the largest Nextdoor community groups in the UK .
The new phone-friendly app – which was developed as a start-up firm in Silicon Valley with funding from early Facebook investors – allows neighbours to plan local events , discuss safety issues , post things for sale and much more .
Whether that ’ s looking for a
plumber , finding a lost dog or exchanging the latest hot restaurant tip , the app is a great way to get to know your neighbours and your neighbourhood better .
The network jumped in size last month after Nextdoor took over similar network Streetlife . It has also become the tool of choice for chatty local agencies after H & F council and its local police and fire brigade teams joined . But Nextdoor restricts agencies from seeing any of the posts from residents . To sign up go to nextdoor . co . uk or download the app
