Street lighting

We know that our residents think that street lighting is a vital service which also improves security and road safety in our borough.

As part of the Deal we would like you to be our eyes and ears by reporting faults or issues you find with street lights in your community.

Most of our street lights are now efficient LED lights (read more about the LED street lighting programme).
