+ <dl>
+ <dt>What is FixMyStreet?</dt>
+ <dd>FixMyStreet is a site 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>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>, such as:
+
+ <ul><li>Abandoned vehicles
+ <li>Dog Fouling
+ <li>Flyposting or graffiti
+ <li>Flytipping or litter
+ <li>Streetcleaning, such as broken glass in a cycle lane
+ <li>Unlit lamposts
+ <li>Potholes
+ </ul>
+ </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. <strong>You will need to contact your council
+ directly for problems such as</strong>:
+
+ <ul><li>Anti-social behaviour
+ <li>Any urgent or emergency problems
+ <li>Noise pollution or barking dogs
+ <li>Fires and smoke/smell pollution
+ <li>Missing wheelie bins or recycling boxes or missed rubbish collections
+ <li>Proposals for speed bumps/ CCTV/ pedestrian crossings/ new road layouts/ etc.
+ <li>Complaining about your neighbours
+ <li>Complaining about the council
+ <li>Joy riding, drug taking, animal cruelty, or other criminal activity
+ </ul>
+ <p>Councils often have direct hotlines for these sorts of issues.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>How do I use the site?</dt>
+ <dd>After entering a postcode or location, you are presented
+with a map of that area. You can view problems already reported in that area,
+or report ones of your own simply by clicking on the map at the location of
+the problem.</dd>
+ <dt>How are the problems solved?</dt>
+ <dd>They are reported to the relevant council by email. The
+council can then resolve the problem the way they normally would.
+Alternatively, you can discuss the problem on the website with others, and
+then together lobby the council to fix it, or fix it directly yourselves.</dd>
+ <dt>Is it free?</dt>
+ <dd>The site is free to use, yes. FixMyStreet is run
+by a registered charity, though, so if you want to make a contribution, <a
+href="https://secure.mysociety.org/donate/">please do</a>.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Why do you only cover the countries of Great Britain?</dt>
+ <dd>We would love to cover Northern Ireland, but we have only been able
+ to locate boundaries for Great Britain (from Ordnance Survey). If you
+ know of a source for Northern Ireland council boundaries
+ so that we can add them to the site, that'd be great.</dd>

+ <dt>Who built FixMyStreet?</dt>
+ <dd>This site was built by <a href="http://www.mysociety.org/">mySociety</a>,
+ in conjunction with the <a href="http://www.youngfoundation.org.uk/">Young Foundation</a>.
+mySociety is the project of a registered charity which has grown out of the community of
+volunteers who built sites like <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/">TheyWorkForYou.com</a>.
+mySociety&rsquo;s primary mission is to build Internet projects which give people simple, tangible
+benefits in the civic and community aspects of their lives. Our first project
+was <a href="http://www.writetothem.com/">WriteToThem</a>, where you can write to any of your
+elected representatives, for free. The charity is called UK Citizens Online Democracy and is charity number 1076346. mySociety
+can be contacted by email at <a href="mailto:hello&#64;mysociety.org">hello&#64;mysociety.org</a>,
+or by post at mySociety, 483 Green Lanes, London, N13 4BS, UK.</dd>
+ <dt><img src="/i/moj.png" align="right" alt="Ministry of Justice" hspace="10">Who pays for it?</dt>
+ <dd>FixMyStreet was originally paid for via the Department for
+ Constitutional Affairs Innovations Fund. It is now funded by a variety of means, from commercial
+ work to <a href="http://www.mysociety.org/donate/">donations</a>.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Do you need any help with the project?</dt>
+ <dd>Yes, we can use help in all sorts of ways, technical or
+non-technical. Please see our <a
+href="http://www.mysociety.org/helpus/">Get Involved page</a>.</dd>
+ <dt>I&rsquo;d like a site like this for my own location/ where&rsquo;s the "source code" to this site?</dt>
+ <dd>
+The software behind this site is open source, and available
+to you mainly under the GNU Affero GPL software license. You can <a
+href="http://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet">download the
+source code</a> and help us develop it.
+You&rsquo;re welcome to use it in your own projects, although you must also
+make available the source code to any such projects.
+<a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/">Fiksgatami</a> is an example of our code
+being used in a Norwegian version of this site.
+</dd>
+ <dt>People build things, not organisations. Who <em>actually</em> built it?</dt>
+ <dd>Matthew Somerville and Francis Irving wrote the site,
+Chris Lightfoot wrote the tileserver and map cutter, Richard Pope created
+our pins, Deborah Kerr keeps things up-to-date and does user support,
+Ayesha Garrett designed our posters, and Tom Steinberg managed it all.
