Reporting a Problem
If you wish to report a street light, illuminated road sign or illuminated bollard as not working properly, please provide us with as much information as possible.
For example, in addition to providing the name of the road, it will help the operator if you can provide a description of where the equipment is i.e. “outside house number 20”, and the lamp post number (which will look similar to the one in the photo shown).
