Are you tired of potholes? Wanna do something about it? If you live in the UK you can report your local pothole at potholes.co.uk.

The site is run by an independent organization supported by an insurancecompany.  The aim of the site is to make the problem visble on a national scale hoping they willl be able to awake political action on the issue.

But the site is not a typical protest site. It can be used by the motorists not only to report portholes but also to give them a view of potholes in their local areas. You can see all potholes on a map. You have to look them up on the map, cant download info to your GPS (maybe an idea fo next gen potholesites).

The site is a very good example of tranparency using social networks to gather informatiom and to publish the same information in an infomative way usefull for motorists and road authorities as well as sending a clear signal to the local politicians.
