FixMyStreet is a project to help communities report, view, or discuss local problems they’ve found to their local council by simply locating them on a map.

It launched in early February 2007 but I discovered it right now.

FixMyStreet is primarily for reporting things which are broken or dirty or damaged or dumped, and need fixing, cleaning or clearing, such as:

• Abandoned vehicles
• Dog Fouling
• Flyposting or graffiti
• Flytipping or litter
• Streetcleaning, such as broken glass in a cycle lane
• Unlit lamposts
• Potholes

I hope that this techno activism (techtivism) will grow to a wider audience, simply because we need it!
