That's a great.Should not take much to add a report diesel spill function into that app.

Hope a data base will also be maintained showing the location,date and when reports are logged.Will show how many times it has to be reported before action is taken.

Yup, just as I was trying to figure out a way of reporting user-generated POIs, the councils have come up with one! I hope they are ready for the volume of reports this will produce!

In my area they save paint by marking the few remaining good bits of surface :D

But only if you request an acknowledgement .Warks CC had a system that dumped stacks of on line reporting ,so now I always ask for an acknowledgement . None received within a reasonable period -new report ( with a copy of original ) CC my county councillor .Funny how I've only had to do it once . :evil:
