Enquiry Number: 11354880 Current Status: New Enquiry - Street Lighting Logged By: CRM User On: 19/02/2022 At: 12:48:03 Street: ZOONS COURT ROUNDABOUT Ward: Hucclecote Ward Subject: SL-Street Light Outage Report Description: Streetlight Light is permanently out
THIS IS A FATAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN! All of the streetlamps have been out of action for months. Now we have signs to say street lighting out of use. After witnessing a 'beached' vehicle on the roundabout last week, I have witnessed on three separate occasions this week where drivers have not been aware they were approaching a roundabout in the dark, and have had to brake hard before negotiating the junction. One skidding to 90° to direction of travel! THIS ROUNDABOUT SHOULD BE WELL LIT WITH UP-TO-DATE LED BULBS FITTED. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A FATALITY. THE COST HERE IS UNIMAGINABLE TO THE FAMILIES INVOLVED, AND HUGE TO THE TAXPAYER VIA THE EMERGENCY SERVICES THAT WILL BE INVOLVED. Location: Additional Comments: Easting: 387427.78 Northing: 218113.2

We’re aware of the issue with the lights here. This is due to a cabling issue however we need to carry out some further intrusive work to find the root cause and then arrange a repair. We're working to resolve this as quickly as possible.
