Mms-ing local government

Link: Springwise: Mms-ing local government.

Initiated in February 2005, Love Lewisham involves residents in keeping the southeast borough of London clean. After installing special software on their cameraphone, observant townspeople can snap a picture of ‘offending graffiti’ or overflowing litter bins, enter location details, and send it to the local council.

The picture is then posted on the council’s website, and cleaning crews are sent to resolve the issue.
