NeighbourhoodFixIt.com: Local problem solving

I'm breaking a golden rule now and moving away from the world of cider, football, music and photography to mention something slightly more worthy, but definitely just as interesting.

Tom Loosemore has posted an introduction to new civic society site Neighbourhood Fix-It on his blog at Tomski.com.

Enter a postcode (e.g. B5 7QQ) and track all recently reported problems in the area via a straightforward map/text interface.

If you're inclined to be more active than passive then you can use the same interface to alert the local council to a problem of your own.

Want to view all current reports by council area?

Not a problem, simply select your council from the list and then view the outstanding problems. (e.g. Here's the current Birmingham City Council list).

Check out Tom's brief appraisal of the site for more info.
