Ilfracombe Report it logo Featuring a speech bubble encouraging people to officially report issues.

In a bid to increase the reporting of local issues to those who are directly responsible for addressing and recording them, Ilfracombe Town Council are offering to do this on your behalf.

The main aims of this system are to:

  • promote the requirement to officially report
  • gain an insight into any barriers that may exist with the current systems
  • identify the range and extent of local issues
  • identify issues that can be undertaken using ITC / volunteer resources
  • encourage a shift away from posting onto unmonitored social media platforms
  • use any findings for future plans relating to resource allocation

How to Report It!

Members of the public can inform Ilfracombe Town Council directly of any problems or issues such as overgrown vegetation, fly tipping, full bins, pot holes, graffiti or anti-social behaviour by:

In turn ITC staff will directly upload your issues onto the official reporting systems on your behalf as well as assessing whether any issues can be addressed “in house” or via the One Ilfracombe Town Team.

If on submitting your report you provide us with your contact details we will also keep you updated on any outcomes or developments.

*Ilfracombe Centre opening hours are Tues – Fri 9am-1pm & 2pm-5pm

What Report It! is not:

  • a shortcut to jump to the top of any list or programme of works
  • a guarantee that the issue will be addressed
  • a replacement for current reporting systems.
