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.

Over a long time both us and neighbours (to each other) have complained about the smell which we think is from the sewer which comes from UBP down Waitete Road past McIndoe Plumbing. I understand when the lines are flushed it improves for a time. We think this action happened after a person further down our road complained previously on a number of occasions) We understand its comes through non sealed manholes. It is very embarrassing for us with visitors and indeed its a part of our life that is continuous especially in the hotter months (and we can do without this impact on our life. What can you do to solve this please?
