I have just been watching the BBC2 programme "Virtual Revolution" about the internet and the possibilities of using it to mobilise opinion on a large scale and the way it is to a great extent bypassing traditional politics.
A large number of people are becoming increasingly angry with the East Herts District Council over its repeated refusal to introduce Pay on Exit car parking in Hertford. Is there any way this anger can be concentrated by means of Twitter or some other means to direct a major protest against the Council's obstinacy?

Hi David,
I'm sure there is, why don't you set up a campaign Facebook page for this? www.facebook.com You could also conduct an online petition? http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/
You could also discuss this online on the Hertford.net forum: www.hertford.net
Let us know how it goes!
