Street lighting
To report a problem with a street light or illuminated traffic
sign or bollard please contact the street lighting team. There is a
voicemail messaging service available for out-of-hours routine
messages. Please provide the location of the street light with as
much detail as possible (street or road name, outside which house
number) and give the number if marked (usually found on the side
facing the road) together with a description of the
fault e.g. ‘light off at night’, ‘light on in daytime’
or ‘damaged due to vandalism’.
Emergencies (where there is an immediate danger to life) will
normally be dealt with within one hour. Please telephone
01733 453523 during normal office hours. For emergencies
after office hours, please call 01733 864157 (weekdays between 6pm
and 8am). Normal street lighting repairs are attended to within 10
days of report. Failure of the electrical supply will be
dealt with by the electricity company and will take longer than a
normal repair. Street lights should operate from dusk until dawn,
while lights in pedestrian subways are usually on 24 hours a
day.
