Aug 1, 2025August 2025 focused on targeted UX and data-control improvements in fixmystreet to drive user clarity, reporting accuracy, and operational efficiency. Key outcomes include: improved Missed Bins reporting experience for Peterborough with clearer reporting windows and deadlines, removal of outdated references, streamlined flow with a direct re-collection link, and emails/logs updated to display user-friendly category names. Introduced asset_layer subcategory-group filtering with the new asset_group_category_exception option for finer asset visibility control, along with corresponding tests and configuration updates. Temporarily disabled the Kingston PDF calendar download to address a specific issue and prepare for a future update.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Delivered two key features for fixmystreet that improve data accuracy and API reliability, with strong business value and improved operability. Implemented Peterborough bulky waste bin size coverage enhancement to include 1100L bins in the black-bin check, increasing the accuracy of bulky waste collection requests. Enhanced the Whitespace API integration by introducing a user-friendly 'try again later' page when property data cannot be fetched, and by improving logging for incomplete GetSiteInfo responses to aid debugging and monitoring. These changes improve operational accuracy for Peterborough workflows and user experience during API outages, while boosting observability for ongoing maintenance of the system.
