Here's a glowing article singing our praises on the Isle of Wight portal. We've also got the site linked on another half dozen or so community related sites; it appears people are listening and starting to think the same way as we do. Reports are growing all the time.
Community Fix for Isle of Wight.
If your concerned about graffiti, dog mess, fly tipping, pot holes, dumped cars etc on the Isle of Wight a new website Community Fix will automatically inform the local council. Community Fix is a new website that allows local residents to get interactive and pinpoint eyesores and issues in their community on a Google map. The Community Fix system then automatically sends the details to the relevant council, this is an excellent example of a website that can allow members of a community to contribute to their community and make it a better place to live in.
Posting a new incident on Community Fix is so easy and from the website they confidently explain:
“Community Fix works directly with county councils, local police forces and local borough councils so that when a resident reports an incident it gets sent directly to the department responsible for fixing it.”
Whilst the Isle of Wight Council Website contains relevant sections in which to report community issues, you do have to conduct a sometimes elongated search. The Community Fix website is just incredibly easy to access and encourages online interaction, participation and collaboration in order to achieve a common goal.
Community Fix appears to have all bases covered with a fixed link and as we at Island Pulse actively encourage community participation we have added a direct link to Community Fix here:
