I can't believe how useful this iPhone application is. Anywhere in NZ I can take a photo of the street problem (car on path, overhanging trees), write a description the phone uses GPS to tell where I am. Press REPORT and it will send it to the council in charge of that area. And it works well.
A must use for any walking advocate

Walking is the most accessible and easy form of exercise. It doesn’t cost anything, you don’t need any special equipment or training, and anyone can do it, no matter how fit they are! Just step out the door and you’re away!
One of the best ways to encourage staff to walk is by example. If workers see the boss or senior management walking to work or to meetings, they are more likely to considering walking themselves.
Living Streets Aotearoa is the New Zealand organisation for people on foot, promoting walking-friendly communities. We are a nationwide organisation with local branches and affiliates throughout New Zealand.
We want more people walking and enjoying public spaces be they young or old, fast or slow, whether walking, sitting, commuting, shopping, between appointments, or out on the streets for exercise, for leisure or for pleasure.
