The council maintains the ring road, Harbour Magu, the link roads, two hundred and ten street lights, the drains, three play areas, two football grounds and the beach access paths.
Use the form on this site or come to the counter. Tell us where it is the way people give directions here. Faults are logged the same day with a reference number, and the maintenance crew is given the list on Sunday and Wednesday mornings.
What gets done quickly: a light, a drain cover, a broken bench, a gate. Usually within the week.
What takes longer and why: anything needing a part that is not on the island waits for a boat, which is a fortnight at worst. Road patching is done in batches twice a year because bringing the mixer out for one hole costs more than the hole. Drainage in the low ground behind the market is a larger job and is in the council's plan rather than in the crew's list, and the plan is published.
A fault reported three times and still not fixed should be raised at an open meeting. Bring the reference numbers. That is what they are for.
