Don't pass that problem by - report it!

Get YOUR street sorted

This is a cool service/website that anyone in Bristol can use to raise an issue of local concern with our beloved Bristol City Council. They're held accountable until they act.

Get your fix from Bristol City Council

How it works:

1) You are walking down your street. You trip over a broken paving stone, you deftly avoid the flytipped fridge against the wall, you grab hold of the vandalised tree on the corner but your grip slips and you fall - hands first - into the ubiquitous dog shit that litters the pavement (again).

2) You go home and clean up.

3) You visit fixmystreet.com.

4) You write a short description of the issue.

5) You hit 'submit'. The site works out what sort of problem you have found then emails the relevant part of the appropriate local council with your comment.

6) The council acts on your comments (at least that's the plan).

7) You feedback if your issue is resolved.

And it is all there for public viewing. The process is open - and the council are held accountable.

Now don't you feel better?
