in your local area like vandalism, abandoned cars or fly tipping direct to local authorities who will take action

Background

Is there a car blocking your drive way that hasn’t been moved for months? With Community Fix Mobile you can take action to report these problems to your local council. Send through a photo and some information about the incident and our system will identify what council area you have reported the incident from and then forward the details onto them.
