#1One shared calendar for all school events
Trips, clubs and dinner bookings are currently spread across three different apps. A single calendar parents can subscribe to would save a lot of missed events.

#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.

#5Use football half-time slots to promote charities
During football broadcasts, half-time could be used to promote charities instead of analysis segments that many viewers find uninteresting. This would give charities valuable exposure to large audiences and make better use of the broadcast time.

#6Create a single universal parking payment app
Drivers currently need to download and register with multiple different parking apps depending on which car park or council area they are in, which is frustrating and time-consuming. It would be far better to have a single universal parking app (or interoperability between providers) so drivers can pay for parking anywhere with one account.

See recent →Add a small delivery levy to fund local councils
With most households now using online ordering and delivery, a charge of up to 50 pence could be added to each delivery and paid to the council responsible for the delivery postcode. This money could be used to subsidise business rates for local shops and maintain the roads used by delivery vans. It could also encourage the consolidation of deliveries.

Strengthen measures to tackle shoplifting in shopping centres
Adopt a zero-tolerance approach to shoplifting. Allow shopping centres to employ licensed security staff who are authorised to report thieves using camera images, and ban face coverings in shopping areas to help with identification. Other practical suggestions to deter retail theft would also be welcome.
