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.

Street lighting very dim

The lights in the street are progressively being turned down dimmer and dimmer and they do not light up the streets or the footpaths making anyone on the road hard to see. I nearly hit a person walking around their car this morning because I did not see them step off the kerb (at a guess it was less than 20 metres from a street light). Only my headlights made it possible to see them. I should be able to see people on the road before they are in my headlights so I have enough time to slow down and pass them, rather than react in fright and swerve into the path of a bus coming towards me. This is a city wide issue on all roads except the main aterial routes. Very noticeable to me the full length of Maupuia Road and Akaroa Drive as this is my commute.
