Greater public access to local politics? There’s an app for that.

Or, at least, there could be if a London web developer’s push to raise enough cash to develop one hits its target — and the early indications are nothing but promising.

Prompted in part by council’s controversial budget proposals, Gavin Blair has taken steps to develop an app that would deliver city hall details, perhaps most notably how each councillor voted on a given issue, to Londoners.

To do it, Blair is trying to raise $5,000 on the online fundraising website IndiGoGo, money that would pay for someone to help design and develop the app.

He launched his effort at one o’clock Tuesday, with some fear that it would sit at zero for the 60-day fundraising period.

But after 48 hours, he’d already raised $1,760.

“It’s fantastic,” Blair said. “I put this thing up on IndiGoGo and I expected nothing to happen.”

The app, Blair explains, would include voting records that are “crowd sourced” — coming from members of the public in attendance, for votes for example — and also include related news articles and councillor tweets.

He points to Open Parliament as the kind of ideal he’d like to create at a local level.
