Street lighting (including illuminated signs and bollards)
It is our responsibility to maintain street lights on the public highway.
This includes lights on street signs and in road bollards.
The local electricity company, UK Power Networks is responsible for the power supply to these lights, however, you can still report faults in the power supply to us and we'll pass it on to UK Power Networks.

Pedestrian crossings
For crossings that do not have pedestrian-operated lights, you can report damaged poles, light fittings or broken bulbs using one of the options above.
Minor faults and bulb replacement will normally be taken care of within seven days.
Power supply problems have to be dealt with by EDF. This can take up to 4 months.
If the lights at pedestrian crossings are not working you will need to report the problem to the correct organisation and this is listed on the crossing. Push-button controlled pedestrian crossing lights, for example, are maintained by Transport for London (TfL).

Some faults are caused by a power supply problem to the light, bollard or sign.
In those cases we pass the fault information on to UK Power Networks, who are responsible for fixing the power supply problem.
