M5 lighting out J6-8

Reported via desktop in the Street lighting (NH) category anonymously at 22:33, Thu 19 May 2022

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3538179.

Much of the lighting along the M5 from J6-7 has gone missing and further down j7-8 there is approximately a 5 mile stretch of lighting that has remained unlit for ages when will these lights be fixed/repaired please?

Thank you

  • 1: What is the "trial" for junction 7-8 2: Will the central reservation lighting J6-7 be replaced at all within the course of the barrier works and thereafter?

    The answer given hasn't covered all of it.

    Thank you

  • `1: J6-7 did have it's original lighting column heads replaced with led lighting a couple of years ago only for it to now all be taken down so will this stretch be replaced?

    2: Also what is this "trial" exactly with the stretch from J7-8 that remains off!

    Your not even reading the question I am asking properly, your just repeating what I already know hence.
