StreetWire is a new service from the team who created PlanningAlerts which provides hyperlocal information including planning alerts, crime and public safety, traffic, local news and postings to FixMyStreet like this one that I particularly liked:
About 1 km away from FixMyStreet – Fixed, yesterdayLarge exentendable dining table has been dumped here. It looks in reasonable condition (so could be useful for someone), but in any case needs to be removed.
You can also post details about local events and meetings, I saw a message about a missing cat for example.
The combination of public sector information and locally created content makes this a potentially very useful site. Hyperlocal is going to be a contributor to building stronger communities.
If this is what Freeing Our Data does – bring it on.
