Have sent you a DM 👍

Oops, forgot to add. I did start off reporting via council website (sometimes difficult what category a missing dropped kerb goes under), and eventually was asked to stop doing it via website and just email in a doc outlining them all.

Happy to send you a copy of a report etc if you like. DMs open

By doing it on a ward basis, it also makes it easier to go back & check if work has been completed (Cllrs aren’t the best at keeping you updated even when they say they will).

Some councils are better than others. I’ve had one council fix an issue within a month & another took 5 years…

End

Documenting it on a ward basis allows me to

1. Keep track of everything better
2. Hold Cllrs to account

I also have a doc that tracks all email correspondence with Cllrs/Highways teams so I know what the latest is with each ward & when I first submitted a report for each ward.

2/n

I initially reported them as I saw them, but soon felt there was a better way of doing it

Cllrs have to win elections & are keen to show any tangible difference that they can have in their ward
