+ <h1>Frequently Asked Questions</h1>
+ <dl>
+ <dt>What is FixMyStreet?</dt>
+ <dd>FixMyStreet is a website to help people report, view,
+or discuss local problems they&rsquo;ve found to their local council by
+simply locating them on a map. It launched in early February
+2007.</dd>
+ <dt>How do I use this app?</dt>
+ <dd>The app will either locate you automatically or you can enter a postcode or location. You
+ will see a map of that area on which you can view problems already reported in that area. To
+start reporting a problem scroll the map till the crosshair is over the location of the problem and
+press 'Report a problem here'.</dd>
+
+ <dt>What happens to the information I enter?</dt>
+ <dd><strong>All the information you enter will be sent to the council</strong>.
+ The title, category and details of your report will be displayed on the website. By default
+ your name will also be displayed on the website but you can choose to have this hidden.
+ We will <strong>never display your email or phone number on the site</strong>.</dd>
+
+ <dt>What if I want to remain anonymous?</dt>
+ <dd>You can opt not to have you name displayed on the website when entering your details.
+ <strong>Your name, email and phone number, if you provided it, will always be sent to the council.</strong></dd>
+
+ <dt>What if I've included personal information in a report</dt>
+ <dd>To have a report edited email <a href="mailto:support@fixmystreet.com">support@fixmystreet.com</a> with
+ details of the report.</dd>
+
+ <dt>What sort of problems should I report with FixMyStreet?</dt>
+ <dd>FixMyStreet is primarily for reporting things which are
+<strong>broken or dirty or damaged or dumped, and need fixing, cleaning
+or clearing</strong>.</dd>
+
+ <dt>What isn&rsquo;t FixMyStreet for?</dt>
+ <dd>FixMyStreet is not a way of getting in touch with your council for all
+ issues &ndash; please use FixMyStreet only for problems such as the above. We
+ often route problem reports via cleansing services or highways and so using
+ FixMyStreet for other matters may result in a delay in your report getting
+ to the right department.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Is it free?</dt>
+ <dd>The site and app are free to use, yes. FixMyStreet is run
+by a registered charity, though, so if you want to make a contribution, <a
+onclick="FMS.openExternal(event); return false;" href="https://secure.mysociety.org/donate/">please do</a>.
+ For more information see the <a onclick="FMS.openExternal(event); return false;" href="http://www.fixmystreet.com/faq/">website</a>.
