fix my street

Hugh McGuire-2
Fixmystreet is a neat little project out of the UK, made to: "help  
people report, view, or discuss local problems they’ve found to their  
local council by simply locating them on a map. It launched in beta  
early February 2007."

You enter a postal code, are shown a map, click on the map, and add  
your comments about problems (graffiti, overflowing drains, broken  
lights, etc). An email is then sent to the local municipal council.  
As of today, 171 reports have been made in the past week, 381  
problems have been fixed in the past month, and 2462 reports have  
been updated.

The project comes to you from MySociety, which: "builds websites  
which give people simple, tangible benefits in the civic and  
community aspects of their lives. For more info on our aims, click
