All lights not working

Reported via mobile in the Not working (NH) category anonymously at 23:01, Mon 29 December 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8603632.

All of the street lighting is out on the M56 between J1 (M60) and J6 (A538). This was at 6pm on 29 Dec and was well after sunset so there seems to have been a major failure for such a long section to have no lighting. This is also an extremely busy section of motorway so is very dangerous.

  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.

    If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.
