Reporting guidance

If you want to track progress on your enquiry, you can log in to, or register for a BRUM account.

Use the map below to start your enquiry. The map will default to a 2-mile radius from Birmingham city centre, and you can:

  • search by entering a postcode or road name in the search button (include the property number if known)
  • use the "find my location" circle underneath the zoom tabs to use your current location when making a report
  • use the "plot new enquiry" tab and zoom in to choose the location manually

When you have marked the location on the map, use the "submit new enquiry" tab to begin completing the form.

You can add additional location information within the form once the mapping point has been submitted.

The map may not be displayed if you use an older internet browser (such as Internet Explorer 10 or earlier).
