Street lights

If you notice that a street light is not working properly – be it off completely, flickering or even on permanently – you can call the Environmental Services department between 09:00 and 17:00 Monday to Friday on 01908 252838. In the case of an emergency, an out of hours service is provided on 01908 226699.

If you are reporting a faulty street light, please help them to locate its position by providing the complete reference, painted in white, on the column. It’s normally a number and a code giving the street e.g. ‘NS’ for North Street. Otherwise, please make sure you have the location such as the address.

You can also report the fault online at Streetlights

The street lighting department is also responsible for maintaining street nameplates.

Bus Services

If you want to report a failure of a bus service, you can contact Stuart Simmonds by letter at:

or by

or

Stuart keeps a record of service failures and is responsible for holding the bus operator, Arriva, to task for failures. If the service is one supported by subsidy, as many of the rural services are, he can impose service penalties on the operator.
