A contractor resealing a road in New Plymouth. Footpath cracked and unsafe? Road sign damaged? Pot holes?

If you notice something to do with the roads or footpaths that needs maintenance please let us know. This includes:

Broken or flickering street lights.
Loose seal which may cause damage to vehicles or an accident.
Faulty traffic lights.
Faded road markings.
Broken glass or debris on the road.

The clean up of spillages such as diesel on local roads, crash response and debris cleanup is also done by the council.
