Reports on the home, work and living environment
Report damage or things that could be improved in your home, work and living environment (public space). For example, you can report weeds, loose paving stones, fly tipping, litter, graffiti, noise pollution from businesses and events, dangerous traffic conditions or nuisance caused by fireworks.
Is it urgent?
- Is the local authority open? Contact your local authority.
- Is the local authority closed? Contact the police on telephone number 0900-8844.
Foundation damage?
The foundation is the structure on which a building rests. Damage may be caused if the foundation is no longer strong enough to support the building.
Cracks and subsidence may occur, or the building could even collapse.
File your report via the Foundation office.
If you regularly file reports, create a link on your phone or tablet.

A new system for filing reports was launched on 12 June 2023 in order to provide you with a better and faster service.
Important changes
- You no longer have to choose a subject. You can enter a report in your own words. The system recognises your words and asks questions.
- Your report is sent directly to the right person. That enables us to give you a better and faster service.
- If you enter your email address, you can check the status of your report.
- Once your report has been settled, you can tell us whether you are satisfied with how we handled your report. That will help us improve our service.
Fine for fly tipping and putting out waste at the wrong place
Fines are imposed for offering household waste too early, dumping bulky waste or leaving waste somewhere it is not allowed. Information about the amount of the fines is available at the Boetebase website.
Filing a complaint
Have you had an unpleasant experience with the local authority, or has your letter not been answered? If you feel you have not been helped properly you can file a complaintonline.
- If you are unwilling or unable to file a complaint online, download and complete the Complaint form. Send the form to the City of Leeuwarden. You can also hand it in at the Town Hall.
- Or call 14 058.
- Or go to the Town Hall in person.
- Or send a letter to the City of Leeuwarden.
It will take a maximum of six weeks to settle your complaint. That period can be extended once by four weeks. In that case, you will receive a letter.
If you are not satisfied with how your complaint has been handled, you can ask the Nationale Ombudsman for help. This is only possible once the City of Leeuwarden has accepted your complaint for processing and settled it.
