Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8503696.
The street light located outside 47 Rickmansworth Road has not been working for several weeks, and this is creating a serious health and safety hazard, particularly during the winter months when visibility is extremely poor. The lack of adequate lighting increases the risk of accidents for pedestrians, including children and elderly residents, and also raises concerns about personal safety and crime. Under the Highways Act 1980, local authorities have a legal duty to maintain the public highway in a safe condition, which includes ensuring that essential street lighting is kept in proper working order. I request that this light be repaired urgently to prevent further risk to residents

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.

Update
We have attended the site and have carried out a full assessment on the lighting column, 95% of lighting reports are repaired on the first visit, as they are generally more minor issues such as replacing the bulb. Unfortunately, there are occasions when further work is required.
This assessment highlighted that there is a fault with the electrical supply and further investigation is required by the local electricity network operator, we have forwarded the details to them. We cannot work on their network, and we also have no control over the electricity supplier service levels, which tend to be up to 90 working days.
Once the electricity supplier has contacted us to advise the supply fault has been resolved, we will then check that the issue is fixed and will update this report.
