Spotted a problem? Report it
Fly-tipping, a pothole, a broken street light or an overflowing bin: the quickest way to get it sorted is to report it on FixMyStreet. It’s free, you don’t need to know which council looks after the street, and you can see what your neighbours have already reported so you don’t report it twice. More reports in an area often means people there are good at speaking up, not that it is worse kept.
Where the figures come from
Street reports and fixes come from FixMyStreet, run by the charity mySociety, through its public Open311 feed. We keep only the kind of problem, where and when it was reported, and whether it has been fixed, and link to the report itself. We never store the name of the person who reported it, their words or their photos. Street names come from OpenStreetMap. Requests for street improvements come from Bristol City Council’s public map of road safety concerns. Our figures start on 17 Sept, so “the last month” may be a little shorter for now.
Each area is a circle round its middle, the same as on its MeBabber page. See our sources and their licences.
