Snap Send Solve helps keep our district tidy

Published: 7 August 2025

Ever spotted a pothole, overflowing rubbish bin, or graffiti and wondered who to tell? There’s a free app to help, use Snap Send Solve and reporting local issues is easier than ever.

Using the app is straightforward: just snap a photo of the problem, send it through the app, and the right team is alerted to sort it out. It’s free to download from Google Play or the App Store, and takes only a few taps, no need to wait on hold or fill out forms.

To help speed things up, users are encouraged to include two photos: one close-up of the issue and one wider shot showing where it is. This helps council and its service providers respond more quickly and effectively.

One issue that’s often overlooked is overflowing public rubbish bins. If you spot one that’s full or spilling over, report it through Snap Send Solve. It’s a small action that helps keep our shared spaces clean and pleasant.

Whether it’s a broken swing at the local playground or a bin that’s seen better days, every report makes a difference.

So next time you’re out and about and see something that needs fixing, take a moment to Snap it, Send it, and help Solve it.
