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’t FixMyStreet for?</dt> + <dd>FixMyStreet is not a way of getting in touch with the council for all + issues – 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 the 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>Should I report a pothole on this site, or call?</dt> +<dd> +<p>Please use the following chart to determine the size of any pot holes being reported and whether to submit a report using this online form or by telephone. + +<p>Chart to go here.</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 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>Can I use FixMyStreet on my mobile?</dt> + <dd> + <p>The FixMyStreet website should work on your mobile phone, adapting to + the size of your screen automatically.

We reserve the right to edit or remove any +problems or updates which we consider to be inappropriate upon being informed +by a user of the site.</dd> + + <dt>Why does the site use kilometres for measurements?</dt> + <dd>Thanks for asking politely – we never quite understand why some of the rudest + emails we receive are on this topic. The British national + grid reference system, devised by Ordnance Survey (the British national + mapping agency) around the time of the second world war, uses eastings and + northings measured in metres and kilometres; the maps we use are from + Ordnance Survey and so this is what we use to display distances. + There you have it: not everything British is in miles!</dd> + + <dt>Why can’t I zoom out more on the reporting map?</dt> + <dd>We want to keep FixMyStreet locally focused, so restrict the ability to + move radically between areas. The map on Your Reports will let you see all + the reports you’ve made, wherever they are. If you’re from the + council then the emailed version of the problem report also contains the + closest road and postcode to the pin on the map.</dd> + + <dt>This site is great – why aren’t you better publicised?</dt> + <dd>As a tiny charity we simply don’t have a publicity budget, and we + rely on word of mouth to advertise the site.
