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.

Over grown grass

I live on Mangapapa Road which is a part of the Northern Manawatu District Council. The grass on the side of the roads is in some places up to 2 metres tall and hanging over the road obstructing oncoming traffic and stock. Our road is only 3 kilometers long to the last house and only has 7 houses on it but we do pay our rates and would like it to be safe for us to drive on. Please come and mow our road....the corner of the side of the road by my house is a drop off of about 5 metres but you cannot tell because of the length of the grass. I would hate someone to go over that does not know it is there.

Still no one has been to mow the grass on the sides of the road. It is now a very real real fire issue.
