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.

Unregistered cars parked on street

Our neighbour has a car detailing business in a residential zoned area and uses the neighbourhood streets for storing cars that are being worked on. A lot of these cars do not have number plates or vehicle licence stickers. Often cars are worked on while parked on the road. Sometimes they are parked on the footpath blocking the way for pedestrians. Is this a permitted activity in a residential area? Multiple vehicles are washed every day on the street with the soap suds going straight into the storm water drains and into local waterways.
