A new community engagement app has been launched by developer VolkerWessels UK to deliver updates on a project in Feltham.

The app, which officially launched in November, offers the general public an overview of the project; details of upcoming possessions and work activities; project news, and community involvement initiatives and events. The app also allows people to submit queries and concerns, which can be reviewed in real time.

Developed with external provider, Bionics, the app has taken six months to build and is a huge step forward in local community engagement. The app will allow the project team to build a strong network with the local community, by providing residents with a much easier method of communication.

Community members interested in VolkerFitzpatrick's Feltham depot project will be able to find out about the latest progress. The project is part of Network Rail's Feltham Re-Signalling Scheme and is being built in readiness for the revised South Western Railway passenger train timetable in 2020.

Paul Lilley, operations director, commented: "The app provides the local community with an insight into our project. Not only is it a new innovation for our team at Feltham depot, but also for VolkerFitzpatrick. The team and I look forward to seeing the benefits this app brings to residents of Feltham and to other rail projects going forward."
