Who this template is for
Quick Council Issue Report is built for councils, agencies and public bodies who need to run a public request or application to a consistent standard.
- Councils, agencies and public bodies working in government & public sector.
- Teams who need to run a public request or application to a consistent standard without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing paper forms that are slow to process and hard to audit with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are residents and applicants — the form asks them 4 questions across 1 screen.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of paper forms that are slow to process and hard to audit and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 4 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- Conditional logic hides 1 question until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

About this template
Residents report street problems from the pavement, one-handed, often in the rain. This form asks what the problem is, where it is, an optional photo and whether they want an update — nothing else. The ward code travels in the link from your map page, so the report reaches the right depot without the resident knowing which one that is.
What this form asks
Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.
