Neighbourhood Fix-It is a site 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 quietly in beta early February 2007, since when over 3,500 local problems have been reported to the relevent council department. Over 600 people have confirmed that the problem they reported has already been fixed. http://www.neighbourhoodfixit.com/report
