Have your say on how you want to get updated about your reports! Please fill out the new survey below.

Report it is a service provided by Westminster City Council. It allows residents and businesses to report street-based issues such as dumped rubbish or faulty street lights.

In October 2022, we started reviewing how the service can better meet the needs of our residents, businesses, partners, and council staff, working closely with people who use the service.  

The Report it team has created this page to keep you up to date with our review of this service.

Our goal

We want to deliver an outstanding service that enables our communities to report and resolve their problems.

This means listening to, understanding, and responding to the needs of our residents, businesses, and partners.
