Just raising the profile of this useful site/app, as I was asked at the weekend about how was the best way to get a problem fixed on a cycle path.
Fix My Street allows you to report problems in your area, and then it is passed to the appropriate people in your local council. It has the advantage that others can see what has already been reported. I've used it many a time with success including reporting leaves on the cycle path needing clearing, removing a fence on a blind corner, and getting a bollard in a park removed (it was always laid down on the ground therefore a trip hazard, without any markings or lit in the dark).
If it's a pot hole I use the alternative CTC site Fill that Hole
Latest sucess:
I reported a badly positioned sign which blocked the view to see if it was safe to cross a multi-lane road, and I've just been notified it will be raised up in the New Year.
