+ <dt><a name="emergencies"></a>Reporting emergencies (Out of Hours)</dt>
+ <dd>
+ <p> Please do not report problems which present an immediate risk to life,
+ for example missing manhole covers or a fallen lamp column. </p>
+ <p> Issues reported via the website are only actioned during office hours.
+ If you require an Out of Hours service please ring (01438) 314963. </p>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>How do I report a problem here?</dt>
+ <dd>After entering a postcode or location, you are shown
+a map of that area. You can view problems already reported in that area,
+or report ones of your own by clicking on the map at the location of
+the problem.</dd>
+ <dt>How are the problems solved?</dt>
+ <dd>They are reported directly to us so we can then resolve the problem.
+ You can also discuss the problem on the website with others if you wish.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Do you remove silly or illegal content?</dt>
+ <dd>Stevenage Borough Council and FixMyStreet are not responsible for the content and accuracy
+of material submitted by its users. 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>Can I use FixMyStreet on my mobile?</dt>
+ <dd>
+ <p>The FixMyStreet website will already work on your mobile phone, adapting to
+ the size of your screen automatically. Using an app has some advantages, though
+ &mdash; for example, you can create a report even when you have no network
+ connection.

+ <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mysociety.FixMyStreet">FixMyStreet app for Android</a>
+ <li><em>Nokia:</em> A volunteer, Thomas Forth, has written an app available from the
+ <a href="http://store.ovi.com/content/107557">Ovi Store</a>.
+ </ul>
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>Can I use these pages to report problems outside of Stevenage?</dd>
+ <dd>Yes, if you enter a postcode or address outside the borough you will be re-directed to the main FixMyStreet site that will enable you to report problems elsewhere. FixMyStreet will forward these on to the relevant council.</dd>
+
+ <dt>The site is powered by FixMyStreet, who are they?</dt>
+ <dd>FixMyStreet 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</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.
+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.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Why does the site use kilometres for measurements?</dt>
+ <dd>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&rsquo;t I zoom out more on the reporting map?</dt>
+ <dd>We want to keep reports locally focused, so we restrict the ability to
+ move radically between areas. The map on <a href="/my">Your Reports</a> will let you see all
+ the reports you&rsquo;ve made, wherever they are.</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 mySociety software behind this site is open source, and available
+under the GNU Affero GPL software license. You can <a
+href="https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet">download the
+source code</a> and help mySociety 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.

+ <dt>Who gets to see my email address?</dt>
+ <dd>
+<p>If you submit a problem, your details, and details of the problem, will be
+submitted to Stevenage Borough Council. Other than the council, only people we authorise to view the
+FixMyStreet administration interface will be able to see your email address and
+they will never use it for anything other than to help administer
+FixMyStreet.</p>
+<p>We will never give or sell your email address to anyone else, unless we are
+obliged to by law. Your name will not be published anywhere unless you let us.</p>
+</dd>
+
+ <dt>What emails will you send to me?</dt>
+ <dd>We will email you when we have received your report, and when it has
+ been investigated and actioned. We will only send you emails that
+ relate to an issue you have reported.</dd>
