Fix My Street
Run by the UK charity mySociety www.
FixMyStreet.com is a website for reporting
common street problems like potholes, broken
streetlights and dog fouling to your local
council. The great benefit of FixMyStreet is
that you don’t need to know who’s responsible
for fixing your problem, FixMyStreet sends
your report to the right council.
Problems are also published on the
FixMyStreet website, so you can see what the
prevalent problems are and what’s been fixed.
You can also upload a photo to help show what
the issue is. Your report goes straight to the
council, who will get back in touch with you.
VV understands that the more times an issue
is raised with the council, the higher up the
rankings the problems appear. So the more
times an issue is raised, the greater the chance of
it being addressed. VV readers can also consider
reporting recurring problems like fly tipping,
graffiti or dog fouling. www.FixMyStreet.com
