A network of Knowledge to get you in. To build a web and mobile based platform to share information that enables people to make informed decisions to plan a trip if they are disabled, elderly, are carers, have disabled family members, carrying heavy luggage, temporarily disabled or have young children with pushchairs. It harnesses the ethos of crowdsourcing and collaborative consumption so that local knowledge we have of our own area could be shared with others to make a big difference to everything you do everyday. It makes the real world and virtual world more accessible and welcoming. It offers realtime information and updates - it's the little things that also matter.
