We note that most street lighting in this area was restored by Northern Power Grid (NPG) on Wednesday evening as arranged.
However, residents in and around that area have reported that there are still some street lights out in the lane along the back of East Street from Aspatria Avenue and along past First, Second and Third Streets.
Following further contact this morning with NPG at our request the council has now received the following response:
Street Lighting have been in touch with regards to the issues with the work NPG is carrying out in Blackhall Colliery. They are arranging for the standby officer to visit the area this evening and undertake a night survey to ascertain exactly which lights are not working.
They will then map the lights to
see if any temporary fixes can be made or at least have the number of lights to
chase Northern Powergrid with next week.
Street lighting engineers have also chased NPG with regards to the repair to these light this week.
We will continue to monitor progress with this matter and update on any significant developments as they arise.
