Yes — and many councils do. The tools don't overlap operationally. Officers stay in FixMyStreet Pro to clear tickets; councillors stay in Senra Radar to see ward context.
The only shared layer is FixMyStreet street issue reports. Senra Radar pulls these through the public FixMyStreet API, alongside eight other sources. Senra Radar is not a fork of or competitor to the FixMyStreet product — it's a different tool that uses FixMyStreet's excellent open data.
No. FixMyStreet Pro is a ticketing and routing system for council officers to process street issue reports. Senra Radar is a councillor-facing data dashboard combining street issues with planning, crime, EPC, property sales, food hygiene and licensing data. The two tools solve different problems for different users.
FixMyStreet Pro is procured by councils under a per-authority SaaS contract, typically in the low five figures annually. Council officers are the users. Elected councillors are not the customer.
Nobody, for elected councillors. Senra Radar is free for every UK councillor on their own ward. Paid plans start at £25/month per ward for officers, researchers and campaign teams who need multi-ward access, export or API.
Yes. FixMyStreet open street issues are one of the nine live data layers inside every Senra Radar ward view, alongside planning applications, Police.uk crime, EPC ratings, HM Land Registry sold prices, food hygiene and more.
Yes — many do. Officers use FixMyStreet Pro internally to manage tickets; elected members use Senra Radar externally to see ward-level context across many data sources at once.
