1 PlaceSpeak's customer staff reserves the right to limit the duration of support phone calls to duration of one hour per call. A single support incident may involve multiple calls, emails and off-line help. PlaceSpeak customer support staff are responsible for determining what characterizes a single support incident and communicating this to the customer. PlaceSpeak will make every reasonable efforts to resolve the issue but PlaceSpeak cannot guarantee that every issue will be resolved.
What others think
"Prior to launching the PlaceSpeak topic, we had only heard from people who felt strongly on either side. PlaceSpeak allowed us to request input from the broader community. It was nice to see residents taking the middle ground, not only extreme positions. We had many passionate residents on both sides of the issue, but the challenge is always to get feedback from people who may not come to a meeting to give public testimony, but want to be heard.”
