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.

New 30 minute signs outside our house

Please replace 30 minute signs with signs that say "excluding residents". We live in a residential area, Meadowbank, this week, a friend of mine noticed a whole lot of new 30 minute parking signs up our road. Parking has not been a problem on this road before so i am not sure why these have even been installed. But now all us residents who park on the road are having to park on St Johns road, which is a busier road or on other side roads. My request is that we get these signs replaced with signs that have an "excluding residents" message on them the way they do in Grafton. Another issue is that the way they are placed, when you park, you actually don't see them as they are placed behind trees as you can see in the photo attached. If it wasn't for a friend of mine parking across the road when coming to visit and noticing as he crossed the road, i would not have noticed until i received a fine! (There is also an issue with your image uploader, i have tried, jpg, jpeg and png formats, the file is under 1mb, but i keep getthing this message when i try to upload: The selected file Screen shot 2010-12-12 at 1.29.10 PM.png could not be uploaded. The file is not a known image format. I have uploaded the file to here for you to see: http://twitpic.com/3f3puw
