New street lighting is obscuring view of the A47.

Reported via desktop in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 11:02, Monday 20 April 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9322176.

The new street lighting has been installed in the wrong place so that when you are trying to join the A47 at the Eau Brink Road junction you can't see anything. This is a major problem and will cause numerous accidents. The junction used to be dangerous. Now it is a death trap waiting to happen. Please, the street lighting needs to be set further back away from the edge of the road like it has always been for decades.
