Help with Streetcare

Our Streetcare tool lets you to tell us about problems you see on the streets of London such as roadworks, damaged traffic lights, and other street defects. It’s the quickest and easiest way to report an issue to us.

You can report problems with:

  • Bus stops and shelters
  • Graffiti and flyposting
  • Hoardings and scaffolding
  • Litter
  • Mobile cranes
  • Roadworks
  • Road, cycleway and footway defects – potholes
  • Street lights and traffic lights
  • Trees

To report other issues, you can visit our website to find out how to contact us.

Only use Streetcare for problems such as those listed above, otherwise there will be a delay in your report getting to the right department.

How to report a problem

Enter a postcode or location and you’ll see a map of that area. You can view problems already reported in that area, or report ones of your own by clicking on the map at the location of the problem.

Once you submit your report, it will be sent to the relevant team at Transport for London who will then investigate and respond.

The tool is free to use, and works on most devices including mobile phones.

If you would prefer an app, please see our instructions on how to download the TfL reporting app.
