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

I am a visually impaired person, so I have to walk the streets to get around. From my perspective, the light on the corner of Mahoe St and Raroa Terrace needs to be moved to the diagonally opposite corner. This will result in it providing better lighting for the actual crossing points of the corner. In a similar vein, there is no lighting at the corner of Mahoe St and Collins Ave. There are lights either side of the corner, but none provide adequate lighting of the corner itself. Could the light to the west of the corner, partly hidden by trees, be moved up to the corner. That would certainly make it safer for me, instead of having to tentatively feel my way into Mahoe St.
