Love Clean Streets mobile app

Make and update a report in the app.

Follow these steps on iPhone or Android. Screens, colours, categories and questions can change with your location and home authority.

Before your first report

Open the app and check your setup.

Follow the onboarding prompts and allow camera and location access. The app may offer to set the authority detected for your area as your home authority.

Create a new report

Four steps from location to submission.

1

Set the exact report location

Start a report, allow location access if prompted, then move the map pin onto the issue itself. Check the displayed street, landmark or postcode.

Choose the location screen on the Love Clean Streets app
Choose the locationPlace the pin on the issue, not your current position unless that is where the issue is.
2

Add and review a clear photo

Photograph the issue safely, then check the image. A clear photo helps the receiving organisation understand the type, size and surroundings.

Choose a category and answer questions

Choose the closest available category. Categories and follow-up questions are set for the report location and can change when the pin moves.

What happens to your report?

Love Clean Streets sends it on

The report is routed using its location and category to the appropriate participating authority or organisation.

The receiving authority takes over

That organisation decides what action to take, carries out any work and controls the report’s progress—not Love Clean Streets.

Follow progress in the app

Open My reports to see available status changes. If something has changed, add an update to the original report.

App only

Update a report.

Add an update when you have a clearer or more recent photo, new information that could help the authority, or the situation has changed. Updating the original report keeps everything attached to the same case.

  1. Open Reports and requests, then choose My reports.
  2. Select the relevant report from the list.
  3. Open the report and choose Update if it is available.
  4. Add the new description or photo, then press Send.

Reports can only be updated in the app. The receiving authority can disable updates, so the option may not appear.
