FixMyStreet is a simple way of letting Lambeth council know about things which need fixing – broken lamp posts, dangerous paving stones, and so on.  All you have to do is put in your postcode, click on the map exactly where the problem is and give a short description.  All that then gets sent to the Council, who can provide updates on what they are doing and show when the problem has been fixed.

Lambeth has a tendency to be a bit trigger-happy on closing cases – they sometimes seem to confuse referring the problem to somebody to sort out with actually fixing it – but that doesn’t stop it being useful.  There are two links in the column to the right – the first one under the ‘Local services’ heading is the one to use to report a problem.  A bit lower down, the five most recently reported problems in Stockwell ward are shown – click to see details of any which you are interested in.
