We immediately reported the outage for repair and residents reported that the street lights had been fixed but by Wednesday evening they were out again.
Last night we received further reports that the street lights were out at the stretch of highway from Ocean View heading south toward Crimdon.
We again contacted the highways section this morning at county hall to ask for immediate repairs. We felt that urgency was required given the increase in traffic in this area caused by the coast road currently being used as a diversionary route while overnight resurfacing works are carried out on the A19.
We have reproduced the highways team's response in full below. We will report on progress as we receive further updates.
Hi Rob / Lynn,
I have been in touch with street lighting with regards to the reported street light issues. I have been told that there are issues throughout the Coast Road. Street
Lighting are currently investigating all the faults in the area. The first
section has been left on test (day burning) to see if there is a further issue
here and they will be in attendance today to try and resolve the issue with the
lights that are out on this stretch.
I have also been told around ¾ of the lights have been repaired
and they are working on the rest.
