I love the FixMyStreet website (or as my friend Martina likes to call it StreetMyFix) In fact it’s now become a bit of an addiction of mine, other than this blog and Facebook of course.
I really wish that more people knew about it, and used it as it’s so easy to report issues to the Council (in my case Brighton & Hove City Council). It literally takes a couple of minutes and then it’s done.
You can report abandoned vehicles, street lights that aren’t working, graffiti, pot holes, pavement issues, the list is endless.
I’ve even been recommending it to my friends when they moan about things.
Now all the guys and girls at mysociety need to do is create a version for the Nokia N95 and I can sort stuff out as I walk past it.
Please, stop relying on somebody else to report things, take some pride in your local area and take the lead in sorting it out yourself. You’ll enjoy the satisfaction of things being fixed and telling people “I made that happen”.
There’s even a little picture up there in the top left hand corner for you to click, so you don’t even have to write the website address out or Google it!
