Haven't tried it. Why do you ask?

Yes I have contacted them in the past. I believe they ensure that the information from the public is passed on to the local Council.

I've used it quite a few times.  They have passed info on to the Council.  I find their maps easy to use to pinpoint where a problem is.  Unlike the Council websites the reason for contacting them takes prominence.  The Council websites are far too interested in finding out about me when I am trying to tell them something that they ought to know about - like a kerbstone that has been damaged - or something that has been dumped.I would always want them to investigate something that has been dumped though as I object to just paying for the Council to remove someone's fly-tipping just because they can't be bothered to deal with it correctly and legally.

Thanks for your replies. (Gerry, I was curious!)

I should have added that you can go back and see the report afterwards.  Other people can also see it.  Sometimes when you contact a Council you don't have confidence that the time and trouble that you have gone to to tell them something is at all appreciated - or even noted. The record of what you have done stands there.  Other people can use it if the problem remains or recurs.You can in a few minutes take time out of your busy life to do something that affects others as well as yourself.
