Small scale fly tipping is the other issue here. If it is on the council's green space we can report it, and it will be gone in a day or two. However, if it is on our road, again it comes down to me loading up the trailer and taking it to the tip. Fortunately it doesn't happen often.

More frequent is fallen branches in the road from storms. Most I can move by hand, but occasionally the chainsaw comes out.

To be fair, I've reported quite a few things locally - potholes, damaged road signs and traffic lights etc, and some things get fixed quite quickly, or at least, made safe quickly and fixed later.

I just need to shake people until they do the same thing!

I do live in a large city, pay the taxes to do so, but also enjoy the services.

So many people here constantly complain about the potholes but don't do anything about it.

A year or two ago in the spring I went for a walk and reported about 25 of them just in my neighborhood. They got fixed within a week or so.

Also, the road I live on is unadopted so no one is responsible, though technically all the house owners here would be jointly responsible.
No such luck given the houses are nearly all rentals. The landlords won't care.
So for the last 30 years, as one of three owner occupiers, I have been the one fixing the potholes and repairing/replacing the stone sets.

I am getting a bit tired of it, to be honest.

I think the city has to deal with it in a certain amount of time as well. There was some story about automating the reporting with cameras on garbage trucks but someone pointed out it might put the city at risk if too many reports came in and they could not keep up.

(To be fair, my friend is actually a bike rider, but plenty of other people live on and use that street with their cars.)
