As well as getting information out of government, the Power of Information agenda is about better ways of getting information into government. The development of an interface to FixMyStreet.com by Michael Houlsby at East Hampshire Council is a great example of a public official taking an initiative in this area to improve the service for both the public and his authority.
It has rightly also been picked up by the Minister for Transformational Government, Tom Watson MP, as an example of good practice.
