Outside 42 Northfield Road. Lamppost removed last winter as essential electrical works had to dig up the road, pavement and grass verge for repairs; the lamppost has still not replaced.

Reported via desktop in the Street light not working category anonymously at 09:55, Monday 5 August 2024

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6316424.

This was reported in April and still nothing has been done. A couple of months ago at least 3 visits were made to the site. 1. Two men sat in a van. 2. A man came to look at the site and marked the area with blue paint on the newly sown grass verge and the pavement. 3. A van with two/three men arrived and sat in the van, but nothing done. Since then, the blue paint on the pavement has rubbed off and the new grass has obliterated the circle. Meanwhile the lamppost is still lying on the green across the road, and has to be moved by the grass-cutting team regularly. Local children use this green to play football and other games, and this is dangerous!

Updates

  • The Street Lighting Team aim to repair all faulty lighting within 20 working days, however, there may be some circumstances that this time for repairs is be extended. For example, if it is an electricity supply fault, this will be passed to the local electricity network operator to attend and rectify as we cannot work on their network, in these cases we will update you to let you know it is an electricity supply fault.

    We are experiencing a system issue at the moment which is stopping us from providing updates on lighting issues, please be assured all street lighting defects are being inspected and fixed but until we have resolved the updates issue you may see the light fixed without receiving any updates.

    We know that faulty lighting is very important to our residents, and we take all reported issues very seriously. In the latter part of 2023, we recruited night scouts to review all of the 40,000 lighting assets we maintain in Buckinghamshire, the information from this review and all customer reported issues are now being addressed and will be resolved as soon as possible.
