About 6 or more streetlights out on the been going to the roundabout. I managed to get the numbers of four streetlights: 5Y07, 5Y08, 5Y12 and 5Y13.

Unoperational streetlights, some been unoperational for months due to the fact that they’re very old. Most businesses and councils have upgraded their bulbs to LED bulbs however these have stayed for same for over 15 years, now they’re showing their age. I’m hoping the streetlights can be sorted and anymore that may be out of action will be too before the road becomes dangerous.

2 years ago and planned work STILL not completed. What's the definition of soon? This junction is dangerous for people new to it when approaching in the dark.

These lights are still unoperational and there are now more lights that don't work than lights that do work, this is extremely dangerous for driving at light especially for those who aren't familiar with the area. Drivers who aren't familiar with the area are now hitting the barriers due to poor lighting.

This issue has been sorted, the origional issue was a cable fault which is why there were so many lights unoperational.
State changed to: Fixed
