Reporting a problem with street lights
If you're reporting a problem with a street light, provide as much information as possible about the type of problem:
- Lighting condition / Problem - is the light burning all day? is it dim or flickering? has it been damaged in any way?
- Column Number - Each lamp has a unique identifier, providing this number will enable us to solve the issue quickly.
- Location - number of nearest property to the light.
If you report a lamp column that's leaning or damaged, an inspector will come out to assess the damage and determine how urgent the job is.
