Drayton Valley Adds Report a Problem to their Mobile Application
Drayton Valley, Alberta (PRWEB) June 30, 2015 -- The Town of Drayton Valley updated their mobile application to allow citizens and staff to report civic issues including graffiti, illegal dumping and waste collection as they encounter them from their mobile devices. The problem reporting module will allow the town to capture these types of requests electronically, making service to citizens more efficient and cost effective
The problem reporting module allows citizens to follow a step-by-step process for identifying and reporting civic issues, including adding an optional photo and the address of the issue as provided by the phone’s GPS capabilities. Citizens can follow up on their problem report based on the confirmation number provided at the conclusion of their form submission.
“With the release of this problem reporting module we hope to hear from our citizens about civic issues as soon as they are identified,” said Mayor Glenn McLean. “With this update, we are trying to improve response times for services offered throughout Drayton Valley.”
