#2Send appointment confirmations by text as standard
Email confirmations get missed or land in spam. A text message, the way parcel delivery updates already work, would be far more reliable.

#3Publish school and hospital spending data like councils'
Spending data for schools and hospitals should be made publicly available with the same level of transparency as councils and other government departments. This would allow the public to see how money is being spent across these services.

#4Let residents track a reported pothole online
At the moment you get one acknowledgement email and then silence. A simple status page — reported, assessed, scheduled, fixed — would cut down on repeat calls to the council.

#5Stagger school holidays by region across the UK
Other European countries stagger school holidays by county or region rather than having the whole country off at once. Adopting a similar regional approach in the UK would help reduce flight costs and overall holiday costs for parents.

#6Create a visible public log of random acts of kindness
More people might carry out random acts of kindness if there were a visible, shared list encouraging them to do so. Alongside this, a public log could show the effect these acts have on people, perhaps through short videos, which people enjoy watching. If everyone were encouraged to take part, it could quickly make the world a better place.

See recent →Stop tip-prompt screens on card payment machines
Payment machines that force customers to choose a percentage tip before completing a transaction should not become standard in the UK. To discourage this, people could refuse to use terminals with mandatory tip prompts. We don't want to follow the US and Canada, where customers are made to feel guilty for not tipping on something as simple as a takeaway coffee.

Enlarge delivery instructions box on Domino's website
On the Domino's Pizza website, the box for leaving instructions for the delivery driver is too small to fit full directions. Please increase the character limit or size of this field so customers can give drivers the details they need to find and deliver orders smoothly.

Gardening boots with ankle fastenings to keep debris out
Gardening shoes and boots should include some form of ankle fastening, such as elastic or velcro, to prevent earth, dust and pebbles from falling inside while working.

Offer greeters in large stores to help locate products
Larger shops such as Superdrug, Boots, Dunelm, Hobbycraft and Wickes — where people often visit to buy a specific product — could provide a shop assistant near the entrance to greet shoppers and ask if they need help finding an item. Not every customer would need this, but for some, especially elderly shoppers, it would save a lot of time walking up and down the aisles searching for a product whose location would be familiar to staff.
