I have received further complaints about faulty street lights on Hesleden Road in Blackhall Colliery. It is reported that the lights have failed in this area some seven times since last October.
I have reported these failures in the past and the lights have been repaired so it would appear that there is a particular problem here.
I contacted the senior street lighting engineer this morning to ask that further investigations are carried out on the street lights in this area as a matter of urgency to ensure that this problem is addressed once and for all.
UPDATE: I have been contacted tonight at 8.15 by a resident in Hesleden Road to confirm that the street lights are now back in operation.
