The document discusses citizen-led local websites and their potential role and impact. It notes that there are over 160 citizen-led local sites on Twitter and 1,320 resident groups on Facebook and other sites. An East Dulwich councillor asks if local residents have any issues they can help with. The rest of the document discusses early research finding that local sites may help empower residents and improve relations with local officials. It also suggests local sites could be a channel for councils to share information and get feedback. Councils are considering policies to support independent citizen-led local sites.
