Local councils, bins, recycling, planning, council tax and housing.
A free opt-in reminder the evening before collection — telling me which bin to put out — would massively cut missed collections and wrong bins on the kerb.
Applications are full of jargon. A short “what’s being proposed, in plain English” summary at the top would help residents understand and respond meaningfully.
Searching by reference number is hard if you just want to know “what’s being built near me?”. A filterable map view would make local planning far more accessible.
When booking a bulky waste collection, let me upload a photo. Crews would arrive with the right vehicle and fewer collections would be refused on the day.
