We’ve had a complaint from a couple of residents about a streetlight that’s not working. It’s the lamp-post marked ‘2’ in Hullbridge Road, Rayleigh near the junction with Downhall Road.<\/p>\n
What’s aggravating is that it’s been out of action since before Christmas<\/em> – and it’s near a busy junction too.<\/p>\n We’ve been told today by County Highways that the fault is caused by a faulty electricity to the lamp-post – and that has to be fixed by EDF Energy, and they<\/em> give low priority to fixing these faults compared with say, a domestic supply problem. <\/p>\n Even so, it should have been fixed by now – the problem is that EDF don’t think they can dig up the road whilst the gas pipe replacement work is going on. <\/p>\n We’re stressin that this work needs to be done, we’ve pointed out that this is a busy junction and the lamp-post needs to be restored as soon as possible…<\/p>\n If you know of any other streetlights that need attention you can report it to County Highways on 0845 6037623. But if it’s been out of action a long time, plase let us know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’ve had a complaint from a couple of residents about a streetlight that’s not working.
