Looking Local Service

Looking Local, previously known as DigiTV, provides easy access to Mayflower’s services from anywhere in the country – all at the touch of a button. It is available through Freephone on the Sky TV service, as well as on the Virgin TV service, WAP enabled mobile phones, iPads or Nintendo Wiis.

Users can interact with the housing association in many ways - including giving feedback, reading the latest Mayflower news and even looking at available rental and Shared Ownership properties.

The service will also be of use to local people in general, as it enables searches for job vacancies, bus and GP times.
