Why would I go to the trouble of downloading an app and creating an account for this? I can do the whole thing in a couple of clicks and report a range of other problems on fixmystreet. Is there a way to check if my council is signed up to this? Given the current budgetary constraints councils are under, is signing up for a bunch of apps like this a good use of their time and resources?

I'd also be pretty reluctant to report rubbish close to my house and have it marked as a "grot spot"

Thanks - I had no idea that existed:

I agree. It's better to just sit here and sulk. Hopefully the problem of litter will just go away.

This bit, where parent poster talks about using existing well known council operated sites to report litter doesn't feel like sitting there and sulking.
