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 your 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 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> - </dl> - - <h2><a name="organisation"></a>Organisation Questions</h2> - <dl> - <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’s primary mission is to build Internet projects which give people simple, tangible -benefits in the civic and community aspects of their lives.
