FixMyStreet is the go-to central system for reporting things which are broken, damaged or dumped - or need fixing or clearing; unsafe pavements, fallen trees, potholes, fly-tipping, flooding - you report it, FixMyStreet will sort it - EXCEPT for streetlights in Brill Village (the Parish Council has devolved responsibility) and issues on Brill Common (owned by Brill Parish Council so private land).
The FixMyStreet website is really easy to use - and there’s a new App for iOS and Android.
