    Drawing on ideas from bug tracking software and open source software projects this project would look to work with a local authority or public institution to help track the progress of ideas and input from the public through the policy process.

    What will the benefits be?

      
    • Keeping citizens engaged throughout the democratic process - and gaining from local knowledge, ideas and enthusiasm
      
    • Encouraging local ownership of issues - and encouraging greater working in partnership with local authorities through increased transparency
      
    • Educating citizens about the policy making process
      
    • Helping local authorities think about how they handle input and ideas from the public
