From blood group ID to cycle racks : I asked for little ways to fix broken Britain and the public’s ideas give me hope | Martin Lewis

Martin Lewis has launched the Small Ideas Initiative to gather practical, low-cost ways to improve everyday life in the UK. He argues that fixing small but widespread frustrations could make public services work better and help improve the national mood, while complementing larger reforms.

The initiative has received 42,000 suggestions since launching a month ago, including telling people their blood group at their first adult blood test and requiring labels on AI-edited property photos. Charities Nesta and Involve will assess submissions, publish at least 1,000 ideas and develop 200 into researched proposals. A cross-party panel is then due to agree unanimously on around 50 for a manifesto and campaign.
