Tools for improving your community for citizens, activists and public servants

Within our Community practice, we run and develop services to help citizens support and enrich their own neighbourhoods, through engagement with local government.

The keystone of this is our FixMyStreet platform, a simple way to report faults to the authorities responsible for getting them fixed.

FixMyStreet is a thriving UK service. Partner sites around the world also rely on its Open Source codebase, and we ourselves have also refactored its core functionality for numerous spin-off community projects.

In all, FixMyStreet empowers millions of citizens to make an improvement in their own neighbourhood, quickly and efficiently.

Past projects

Keep It In The Community

Keep It In The Community is a map of places and spaces that are valuable to local communities across the UK, based on the FixMyStreet platform. It was run in collaboration with Power To Change, and has now been handed over to them — find it here.

Read about the background to the project.

FixMyBlock

mySociety created FixMyBlock, a one-stop toolkit for tenants in high rises, for Tower Blocks UK, who now run it themselves.

Intended to cut through the jargon and empower residents, FixMyBlock lays out everything that landlords should be doing to keep tower blocks safe — and what to do if they aren’t. Read more about the project.
