There is also fillthathole.org.uk, a site run by the CTC (Cyclist's Touring 
Club) aimed at defects in the road that present a hazard to cyclists. Very much 
the same idea but with a specific focus on issues that affect cyclists.

[Talk-GB] Fix My Street

2009-01-16 Thread Ciaran Mooney
Hi,

Just thought I'd mention a very useful UK based website.
FixMyStreet.com is a project run by the MySociety people.

I mention it because we are the one riding around all the time, and we
will be bound to notice mistakes like incorrect street names etc, or
even the less mundane pot holes.

To report a problem just type in the postcode or street name /area,
locate on a (OS) map, and describe the problem. FixMyStreet then
submit the report to the local council to be fixed.
