Coimbatore South Ward 12: from repeated complaints to organised follow-up

Residents and organisers meeting in a ward

Context

Residents had raised the same street-level service issue through separate calls and messages, but no shared record showed the location, dates or responsible office.

Challenge

The problem was not a lack of concern. Information was scattered, follow-up depended on one person and residents could not see what had already been tried.

Approach

A small ward team mapped the affected area, recorded resident accounts in one format, identified the responsible department and reviewed follow-up every week.

Metrics

Weekly

Review rhythm

Period: active issue cycle · Method: documented team review

Shared

Resident evidence log

Period: active issue cycle · Method: standard intake record

Named

Owner for every next action

Period: every review · Method: action tracker

Outcome

The team created a repeatable process for collecting evidence, assigning responsibility and keeping residents informed. Any service-resolution claim is published only after verification.

“The biggest change was knowing who would do what next—and when we would check again.”
