Brent Gadgets
We are currently developing a series of gadgets/widgets that provide easy access to some of our local information. At present, we have two available - one for iGoogle (compatible with any computer that has a web browser) and the other for Mac OS X. A version for the Windows Vista/7 sidebar will be available in the future.
To use a gadget, first install it using one of the links below. Once added to iGoogle or your OS X dashboard, simply enter your Brent postcode into the field and click "Set your postcode". You will then be able to select a type of location from the drop-down list at the bottom of the gadget. The gadget will calculate the nearest 10 locations to your postcode and provide links to more information and directions showing how to get there.
As development of these gadgets continues, we will update this page.
