The council requires you to select the location on its map

This type of issue uses the council's own map to pin the exact location. When you open the council form:

  1. Look for a "Use my current location" or GPS button on the council's map — this will use your phone's GPS to find the spot automatically.
  2. If there's no GPS button, use "Copy location" below and paste the coordinates into the council form's location search.
  3. Drag the pin on the council's map to the exact spot if needed.

Copy for the council form

Copy these details and paste them into the council's form after you set the location on their map.

You'll be taken to the council's reporting map. Use their GPS button or paste your coordinates to set the exact location.

Your exact location stays private on Swindon Together until you choose to submit it to the council. Public maps only show a generalised area.
