Vandalism can have a negative impact on your local area for several reasons:
- It is considered to be unsightly and represents a threat to community safety.
- It is a visible form of crime and disorder, particularly among young people.
- It has a potential impact on the long term viability of businesses.
- It is often linked (correctly or incorrectly) to other crime types and escalating levels of criminal behaviour.
- The cost associated with repairing damage caused by vandalism is considerable.
So, what happens next?
When you Snap instances of vandalism, your photos, notes and location information help the Solver pinpoint active issues and start working to Solve them. In most cases, when you report vandalism online using our app or the online form your Snap will be received by a Solver at your local council.
From there, they will send someone out to assess the issue and contact authorities if necessary. In some cases further investigation will take place and relevant fines will be issued. We’ve found that Snappers report high response rates and prompt resolutions when using Snap Send Solve, without time spent waiting on the phone or following up emails. Snap using the app so you can easily track the progress in the History section, as well as provide feedback, along with your satisfaction rating.
Solvers each have their own customer service level standards and will provide feedback on your Snaps depending on their time and resources. If your report isn’t Solved right away, you can also send a Nudge two weeks after sending your Snap, which is a friendly follow up signal to the Solver.
