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.

Bare wires touching and arching

Insulation has rubbed off one of the power lines (think it supplies the street lights?)and every time there is a storm there are two wires rubbing together, causing great showers of sparks from the two uninsulated wires rubbing together. I'm concerned this is a safety/fire hazard. Pole number 14819, outside 14 Mills Rd on the downhill section heading down Gowrie St. Thanks Dave Wild.
