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.

On the evening of saturday 18/06/11, I, along with friends, were walking south along Tongariro St, just before the traffic lights, when one of the females in our group slipped backwood on one of the two chamber covers due to the cover being so very slippery. I too nearly toppled when I slipped on the lid as a tried to save her fall. She is ok but has a bruised back today,19/06/11. I scuffed my foot over the other chamber lid to see if that too was as slippery to find it was as bad. Although our woman friend is ok, the result of the fall could have been worse for her, and worries me to think if an elderly person was to slip on one of these covers.
