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.
