#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See recent →Remove duplicate and outdated stories from BBC News app
On the BBC News app, news items sometimes appear two or even three times, and stories are occasionally left up when they are clearly out of date. It would be much better if the app was kept up to date, with outdated items removed promptly and each story listed only once.

Launch a national AI literacy drive for everyday use
AI is remarkably powerful for everyday problems - uploading a photo of an electricity bill to find ways to cut costs, developing a fledgling idea into a comprehensive plan through AI questioning, or fixing a router using photos of the back of it and screenshots from its app. Yet many people don't know these uses exist. The gap between those who know and those who don't will grow rapidly and disadvantage the people who most need these benefits. The UK should address this with a national effort to teach practical, everyday AI skills to everyone.

Sky should reward loyalty without end-of-contract haggling
At the end of each contract, Sky customers currently have to call and negotiate — often threatening to leave — before being offered a reasonable price. Sky could instead offer a sliding scale of discounts based on how many years a customer has been with them, or another automatic system, so loyal customers get fair pricing without having to haggle each time.

Create an AI task force to improve UK traffic
The UK should establish a dedicated AI task force responsible for improving traffic flow across the country. By using AI to analyse and manage road networks, the task force could help make travel both safer and faster, getting Britain moving.
