Thank you for your report, this is logged on our management system as a fault. Currently the temporary policy is for our interim contractor to attend electrical & structural emergencies as a priority, these will be attended within a 24hr period. However, when and if additional resources plus materials are available the contractor has started to carry out repairs to the older outstanding faults these will be grouped by areas for efficiency.
Individual parts will also need to be ordered on a number of faults as these are not standard items, unfortunately this will increase the time it takes that these units are not operational. We are currently in the process of negotiating with our interim contractor to provide additional resources to look at all faults to reduce the outstanding levels, however these will not have target timescales for repairs but we anticipate that they will be fixed as soon as possible.

This is still a problem and a serious hazard to cyclists and pedestrians. Seems mildly ridiculous that it is taking so long to change a light bulb - especially when the longer it remains unfixed, the greater the risk that someone will get hurt.

Our contractor has attended several times and unfortunately have not been able to access the unit due to parked vehicles. They are continuing to try and get this repaired

How pathetic is that? The parked vehicles didn't stop BT Open reach attending to a faulty telephone line with a cherry picker. There has been a bike stolen from outside my home and two further attempts to steal the replacement bike because it is so dark there at night. This has been going on for months. Stop making excuses

We believe this issue was addressed but due to a technical error it hasn’t been updated on FixMyStreet. We now consider it fixed, but if the issue still exists please let us know by creating a new report on FixMyStreet: https://fixmystreet.oxfordshire.gov.uk a>.
