Should have said, Fixmystreet worked very well for me. I guess there was a hiatus in me reporting at some stage, probably forgot the routine and found the council route.
99.9% of my reports are fir flytipping tbf.

Hello decadence
Colly reported a huge pothole on FixmyStreet.
The council responded and said they'd look into it.
(Am I in the right thread? - is this where @Mad Doug Biker hangs out?)

This thread reminded me that I intended to report a fly tip I ran across a couple of days ago
SO yesterday I used to site to report it - needed to anyway as I was not sure which area it came under!
Anyway - that was yesterday and today I got an email from Warrington saying that their procedure has changed and I needed to re-do the report on their site and confirm the report
So I went to the fixmystreet and told them about the change so they can look at how to take it into account
then went to report it on the Warrington site
WHAT a faff!!
I had to confirm that I wanted to report fly tipping about 6 times on one screen!!!
Then go through several screens to actually report it
The Halton one I normally use is just an email - far less faff!

That's a bit naughty of Warrington. They know about it know and should make you jump through hoops to report it yet again when they are already aware. They'll still be liable if someone hurts the self on it.

Actually just had a phone call from Warrington counsel
Basically thanking me personally for reporting the fly tipping and updating me as to the status
Turns out that quite a few people have reported it - which is good to hear - so some investigation has already been done
The land, in spite of looking like a normal road, is actually a normal road at the start, then becomes part of the nature reserve before finally being owned by the company that owns the company that owns the company that owns the factory at the end of the road.
Hence it took them a while to work out who owned the bit where the fly-tip is
Anyway - the point is (finally!) that they went to all teh trouble of ringing me personally to tell me about it all and explain it.
Which - to be honest - seems a bit over the top - but very nice to be thanked and kept up to date.
But an email automatically sent to everyone who had reported it would have been fine!

Yesterday evening, I reported some aggravating new traffic lights the change for no reason.

I'll report back in 6 months
They work properly now 😁
A recent win on Fixmystreet..
A few weeks ago I reported some collapsed manhole covers on a junction near my house. They could wreck a bike and its rider quite easily if it wasn't spotted, and damage a car tyre/suspension, too.
I got a report back the following day saying it wasn't within their criteria for repair!
Today, however, this lot turned up 😅
Turns out there's a big hole now as the water mains have collapsed underground 👌💦

Presumably same reason people bag it, then, hang the bag on a tree or just drop the bag on the ground?

I saw a thread on 'dog poo bags' on another forum
SOmeone said that a lot of people put it in a bag and then carry on - then pick it up on the way back so as to avoid carrying a bag of poo all the way there and back
which might explain a few - but some people must be on their way to the Far east for a dog walk because some of those bags have been there all summer!!!!
