Shape your area.

For citizens and local creators who think their hometown deserves a live, open board of its own. You bring the place and the people. Shape Local brings the engine.

Takes about a minute. No account needed.

How it works

01

Tell us your place

Name, email, and the town, city or village you want to shape — plus why it matters where you live.

02

We map it

Your area appears on the UK map. Once your board is being built, your pin turns orange so neighbours can find it.

03

Your board goes live

You get a Shape site of your own — wards, ideas, priorities and pitches — linked straight from the map.

Who it's for

  • Residents who keep saying "someone should do something about this"
  • Local creators, writers and photographers who already document their place
  • Traders and community groups who want honest signal from their high street
  • Parish, town and ward councillors who want to read the room in public
