The 28-Day Accountability Timeline

What happens after you report

DAY 1

Report Submitted

Your report is GPS-tagged and timestamped. A pre-filled FixMyStreet notification is generated for you to submit to your council in one tap.

DAY 7

First Check-In

Check your FixMyStreet submission for a council acknowledgement. Your report is visible in your dashboard.

DAY 14

Halfway Mark

The tracking window is at its halfway point. Check for a repair update — your evidence is on record.

DAY 21

Final Week Warning

One week remaining in your tracking window. No automated action is taken at this stage — check your council's response directly.

DAY 28

Day 28 — your follow-up point

No statute gives a council 28 days to repair; it is the target many set themselves and the window we track. Your file is complete and ready for a solicitor of your choice.

  • ✓ MP letter template (write to your MP about road conditions in your area)
  • ✓ Case evidence file — GPS, timestamp, dated report record
  • ✓ Evidence pack ready to share with a solicitor of your choice
