A Street Fault Reporting System Fit For the 21st Century

We live in the 21st century and technology moves at a blistering pace. 

Here at Street Repairs we have developed an easy to use street fault reporting system using our own finances, our own technological prowess and dogged determination to show our country that it need not cost millions of pounds to have such a system fit for the century we live in.

Imagine there was an app for voters to vote in the next government! It would be a great way to support your community and what directly affects you. This however is many years away from becoming a reality. Street Repairs is here now and has gained a great following and its making a difference. 

We are not politically motivated here at Street Repairs all we care about is getting our nation’s roads and communities up to scratch. In order to do this we rely on the general public to report issues in real time using our systems. After all, if the establishment doesn't know about the issues then they can’t do anything about them.

Local problems, from potholes to fly tipping or even blocked drains can cause people unnecessary distress, fact.

At Street Repairs we consider the needs of the many and the issues that they can face in day to day life, in and around their local communities as well as journeys that take them further afield.

The reporting system and its mobile apps have been developed with ease of use in mind, making it simple for even those that might consider themselves ‘technophobic’ to operate.

Why Street Repairs is the right choice for the UK

Digital mapping and databases mean that end users are no longer required to waste their valuable time considering which council or authority need to be notified when submitting a report.

Strict moderating rules prevent the use of inappropriate imagery or language that might be deemed unsuitable for publication.

The Street Repairs system is much more than just a pretty tool for fault reporting and goes far beyond just what the public can see. The development of our new asset management tool for local authorities makes it easier to track, plan and monitor everything that falls within their remit. Improved monitoring will drive performance, which results in more prudent spending in what are extremely tight budgets.

Proof of the pudding

We often hear businesses harping on about how revolutionary their latest product or piece of technology is. Street Repairs is no different in this manner; however the systems we offer have been tried and tested in the marketplace for some time. With members of parliament, national breakdown organisations and even online comparison sites all utilising the power of our cutting edge reporting software.

Hosts of our system receive access to their very own dashboard, allowing data analysis and collation for all reports made through their portal, via the API on a webpage or very own white label Smartphone reporting APP (iTunes & Android).

Those already on-board are identifying the huge benefits of making their commitment to Street Repairs. Not only is there the freedom to gather invaluable data it also serves for great public relations in the community and allows access to new audiences.

Today we can listen to them about wanting to make a difference.

Yesterday we made a difference.

You can help keep your neighbourhood safe, clean and inviting, by reporting any maintenance problems you notice to your local council. In the past it has been difficult and time consuming to make a report, with residents needing to track down the correct department, follow the right procedure or even identifying the correct location of the defect. Trying to follow a reported fault can also be tedious, with Street Repairs it’s easy to follow your report as we keep you updated with regular text messages and emails. Our systems will identify your location, find the right council and keep you posted on progress.

Street Repairs makes the whole process much easier, by providing one website through which residents can submit any problem, to any local council anywhere, anytime. Smartphone technology has allowed residents to report problems in real time. You can attach photographs and give a detailed description whilst out and about. Basically we have handed street fault reporting power over to you the public.

Once the problem is reported, our work is only just beginning. We try to work with councils to help them prioritise the works that need carrying out which assists in managing their maintenance budgets. We also encourage and closely monitor their progress and follow up on all cases submitted via the Street Repairs. Progress updates from the council are regularly requested to ensure a satisfactory outcome for local residents and the council.

Street Repairs is committed to making it as easy as possible for local people to report local problems to their local council. We then try to work with the council to get these issues resolved, while keeping the original informant up-to-date with the progress being made.
