This is a great website,

If you spot something that the Council needs to deal with (physical problems) such as missing name plates, weeds & overgrown bushes, bad dog fouled areas and broken park benches to name a few, then take a picture and post it on the site, or just make a posting - no picture needed. There is a wee map thing where you pin point the problem too.

Then the site emails the city council with details about the problem.

Im always posting things, an example being:

Give it a try, there isnt much posted about Porty but im sure we could all find some problems.. .. .. ..

They also built the e-petitions part of the Prime Ministers website which seems to be rather popular, I guess. People from all over the country seem to be using it so it.
