A small request about reporting issues in town
As Town Clerk, I regularly receive messages asking me to report things like potholes, broken street lights, graffiti, fly-tipping, blocked gullies, dog fouling, dead trees/branches or other problems around town.
While I’m always happy to help, these reports are made through FixMyStreet — and anyone can report directly in just a couple of minutes.
In fact, it’s usually better coming straight from the person who has spotted the issue. You can:
Pinpoint the exact location on the map
Upload a photo
Add the detail while it’s fresh
Track updates directly
If you send it to me or the Town Council, I simply log it on FixMyStreet on your behalf — which adds an extra step.
FixMyStreet is designed for reporting things that are broken, dirty, damaged or dumped and need fixing, cleaning or clearing — such as:
Potholes
Street lights not working
Graffiti
Dog fouling
Fly-tipping
Tree issues
If something isn’t covered under FixMyStreet, it will be redirected to the appropriate organisation.
You can report here:
www.fixmystreet.com
Of course, if something is urgent, please do contact me. But where possible, reporting directly helps issues get to the right authority more quickly.
Thank you — it really does make a difference.
