Street Lighting

We aim to:
  • Ensure that at least 98.5% of the street lights and illuminated traffic signs that we are responsible for operate correctly.
  • Attend and repair faults within 5 working days where possible, except those which only E-ON can repair.
  • Maintain and operate street lighting to create a safe night-time environment, reducing the fear and potential for crime in communities.
  • Maintain and operate illuminated traffic signs as an aid to traffic safety.
What we do:
  • Carry out night time inspections of the 47,500 street lights and 7,500 illuminated signs for which we are responsible every 28 nights.
  • Clean lanterns and change lamps regularly.
  • Make safe any dangerous accidental or vandal damage within two hours of receiving a report.
  • The annual street lighting budget for both energy and maintenance is in the order of £3,250,000.

Report a faulty street light

When contacting us please describe the nature, column number and location of the fault in as much detail as possible. For location please include town, road name and the house or property nearest to the light. The Street Light number will be a black number on a white background, facing the road and located at about eye level on the column. It is useful to leave your contact details should one of our inspectors need to clarify the exact location of a fault.
