Taking a break...

FixMyStreet is going offline shortly, probably permanently. The software is old and needs a complete rewrite, the site is being bombarded by spammers, and it is debatable whether councils are receiving and/or acting on FixMyStreet reports.

As of now, it is not possible to post new issues, or updates to published issues.

If you have submitted on FixMyStreet, thank you for playing a part in one of Aotearoa/New Zealand's early civic tech projects.

Turning Arrows Required

The Traffic Lights on Prestons park drive/ Prestons Rd require red turning arrows. Over the last 12 months i have witnessed many near accidents involving pedestrians and vehichles that have failed to give way to pedestrians on a greeen man signal. The reason for the email is because i was nearly hit twice in one day with my family from vehichles failing to give way. From what i understand its a combination of a new exit point from Alpine view onto prestons park drive, a number of the near misses have been caused by Elderly drivers. I believe it would be very neccesary for red turning arrows to be installed to potentially save a life. Marshalands school children cross at this intersection along with familys like myself walking to drop kids off at the preschool on Te Rito St. please phone for more information if required.
