Neighbourhood Fix-It
Tom Steinbergs new project gives people the opportunity to report, view or discuss local problems ike graffiti, fly tipping, broken paving slabs, or street lighting. Reports are sent directly to the local council. After entering a postcode or location, the users are presented with a map of that area. They can view problems already reported in that area, or report ones of their own by clicking on the map at the location of the problem.
