A New Future for FixMyStreet for Councils

Work for a council? Tell us what you need

We’re making some pretty big improvements to the FixMyStreet for Councils service at the moment: improvements that will save councils both time and money, while giving them flexibility and insights into their fault report handling.

This has been our core focus over the last six months, working with our customers to design a new category of case management system, for local government, and by local government.

We’ve been working together with local authority insiders because they’re the people who know best what they require from a piece of software they will use every day.  If you also fall into that category, we’d love to hear from you.

We’ll be sharing early iterations of the improved service as we make progress. Your feedback will be part of that process, helping shape a service that does everything you need it to do.

As we add these new case management features, we’ve set three core principles:

  • To lower the operating cost of highways, parks and streets management by improving the user experience for all involved, from residents to council staff
  • To change the relationship between local government and providers like Skanska, Veolia et al from direct management and instruction, to one of monitoring and oversight
  • To treat the asset management system as a data repository for asset information, not a case, customer or works management solution

If you are from a local council and you would like to find out more, or you would like to provide feedback on early prototypes, help with user testing and become a part of our development process, we would love to hear from you.
