The Local Government White Paper, Strong and prosperous communities, is out today. The BBC have been covering it have have used LoveLewisham as way of explaining what the paper is trying to do.
You can see the video here, read what the BBC say here and see the LoveLewisham blog here.
The White Paper itself has this to say about Lewisham’s use of the Mediaklik technology:
local authorities are using information technology to improve responsiveness to local people’s needs. For example, the ‘LoveLewisham’ scheme allows residents to text or email pictures of problems like graffiti or fly-tipping to the council. The pictures appear on a website so the public can track what action is being taken.
