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.

MDC contractors organised by Steve Belski have trashed the root system of a very mature Kahikatea on our land. This was during the installation of a car park on the paper road leading to Rangiwahia Reserve. We were given no notice of this work happening, as local landowners, nor can I see any approval by the Rangiwahia community for this car in any community meeting minutes. I am also still awaiting contact from MDC re an issue i lodged in early June. Having visited the MDC offices in early August and been told someone would be in contact - i am still waiting.
