Just been on to the council again.
The single street light outside packed up last Saturday. It's the only lighting in the vicinity, so we are now in pitch darkness each night. My nextdoor neighbour is elderly and disabled, but that seems to cut no ice. The switchboard girl said it had been inspected today and would be a routine repair.........Lies! Nobody has visited.
She got the hump when I suggested it might have been dealt with rather more promptly, had it been outside the mayor's house.
Kicked up a stink re the one outside my bedroom. It constantly was cutting out and each time took an age to be fixed, and then lasted a few days. Eventually after a few of us bombarded them they dug it out and rewired that section and put a new on in. Never went out since. Power to the people:DQuote:

I'm fairly certain the issue is a damaged cable. The light failed the same day as a publice utility contractor dug the footway up to lay services about fifty yards away.
My street is lit like Blackpool sea front. Lampost every 30 yards with the new LED white daylight bulbs in them. You could do open heart surgery at midnight with no problem at all.
Never used to be that way, used to be just 2 of the old sodium lights, one at either end of the street, and one would always be broken. Preferred that, personally.
we have those now or similar. taller and brighter. got used to it nowQuote:

The local council have just installed a non-illuminated triangular 'School' street sign, one foot in front of an illuminated one. What's that all about? :doh:
