For those that don't know there is a useful website called FixMyStreet where you can report, view or discuss local problems. There's also mobile apps available for those with a smartphone which allows you to send pictures of the problems with ease.

Direct links to the apps are available on the FixMyStreet homepage or on our useful links page
