We can confirm that Western Power are unable to restore supply to the 6 faulty lights using the current supply arrangement.
To overcome this issue the lights can be given their own individual power supplies, and we have instructed our contractors to liaise with Western Power to complete this work.
After these changes the power supply will be more reliable and this type of fault should not occur again.
We trust that Western Power and our contractors will plan the work and start as quickly as they can. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by the lack of lighting in the area.

The new connection’s to the streetlights will be made W/C 1st March by Western Power Distribution. Excavations will take place on Sunday 28th Feb and reinstated on Saturday 8th March for the columns affected.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by the lack of lighting and the delay in this work taking place. This is partly due to staffing issues surrounding the Covid pandemic and due to this being joint works in with WPD.
