From The Tribune staff reports
LEEDS — The City of Leeds announced the launch of Text My Gov services on June 1, 2022, to offer another convenient way for residents to communicate with the city.
Citizens will be able to sign up to receive message notifications whenever the city needs to get a message out, such as road work and road closures. This smart texting solution works with regular SMS texting, so no app or download is needed.
Text My Gov uses a mobile phone’s regular messaging service as a simple way for the city to interact with the public and for citizens to relay information to the city.
Citizens will be able to obtain information on business licenses or permits and easily report code violations, public works issues like potholes, road damage, sign down, drainage problems, and more. In addition, the city will be able to engage citizens, start a workflow, and ask specific guided questions regarding location, address, street name, etc.
Text My Gov will be just one of the ways someone can quickly contact the city. In addition, anyone can utilize the Online Services Portal on the city’s website to send a message, inquiry, or concern and follow the progress of that concern right on the portal.
