When should I use 'report it'?
We will only deal with issues on public land. If the issue is on private land you should only report it if it has the potential to cause a public health issue.
You should not include personal information about individuals in any reports.
Before you send a report, consider if you could help to resolve the issue, for example if it is a simple litter problem, as part of The Deal could you or the community help?
It should not to be used in emergency situations, where it is more appropriate to contact emergency services.
For information on how to download and use 'report it' via the app visit:
How do I use 'report it' via MyAccount?
How do I find out whether my report has been actioned?
Response times are up to 10 working days, depending on the issue reported.
When your report has been made, you will receive an email with a job reference code, an outline of the response time and a link. By selecting the link you will be able to view any updates made to your report. When we close your report, you will receive another email. Again this will include a link which you can select and see any updates made.
You can also check your report status:
- Online via MyAccount - your individual reports are shown under the report it section, select 'view reports'
- Or via the 'My Report It' phone app - select ‘reports’.
Having a MyAccount also means that you can manage your Council Tax, Housing Benefits and Housing Rent all in one place.
We will investigate the reported issue and action in line with our current service policy. Your issue will only be actioned if it meets the current intervention levels for that service.
Why are you asking us to report things online?
We are asking residents to access council services and information online as part of The Deal.
Our online services are quick and easy to use, saving you from having to make costly phone calls or trips to the Life Centre.
