ROOTED IN THE MIDLANDS
Good things are
being built here.
A useful, open window into the startups, builders, communities and spaces shaping our region.
The default directory now contains real places and events researched from public sources. A source check is not confirmation by the organiser. Map markers use approximate postcode locations; check the original directions before visiting.
Leicester first.
We’re starting with Leicester and Loughborough, building useful local coverage before expanding across Birmingham, Nottingham, Coventry and Derby.
Community maintained.
The directory is designed for information curated from public sources and community submissions. Future submissions will be reviewed by a person before publication.
Useful by design.
Find a place to build, a community to join, or an organisation to connect with. Sources and verification will be recorded separately, so provenance stays visible.
HELP THE MAP GROW
Local knowledge makes a better map.
Organisation submissions, entry corrections and stale-information reports will share a moderated workflow in Phase 3. For this development version, you can already propose a record, flag a correction or report an issue through the project’s issue tracker. Include the entry name, what should change, and a public source.
