Ref: 347985 Thank you for your report; we have logged this as a fault on our management system. Our current policy is for our contractor to attend electrical & structural emergencies as a priority; these will be attended within a 24hr period. All other faults are logged on our management system, for efficiency, these are grouped by area and the date they were reported, and the contractor attends against a programmed of works based on this approach.
State changed to: Action scheduled

I reported this on 12 November. The personal and property security of residents is at risk. Please provide a date when this will be fixed. I note there are numerous faults in this area - enough to keep your electrical contractor busy and remunerated.

Many thanks for the report and i appreciate the concern and sadly this is a county wide issue, at the present time we have just changed contractors (as of dec 3rd) there is a huge backlog of repairs across the entire county with emergency repairs at the moment a priority, we are hoping to work on the backlog of repairs in the coming weeks, we can only apologise during this mobilisation process

200 yards away from street light number 7 is WD2 which has been burning 24/7 for many, many months. This waste of energy and council taxpayers' money should be spent fixing number 7 and all the other faults in this area

It’s now the 18th of February, and still this light is not fixed. Was first brought to your attention on the 12th of November. Does it really take that long to fix ( a light bulb ) ? I hope no one gets injured as there is a footpath that comes out onto a road just below it.

Thank you for your report, this is an open fault on our management system, we have recently appointed a new term time contractor who is currently in the process of attending and repairing the outstanding faults left from the transition from the previous contractor. They are working on an area based approach and will attend as soon as possible.
