We were particularly concerned about this because the back lane was completely blacked out so we have continually pressed over the past two weeks for repair or maintenance works to be carried out.
We asked this morning for an update and we have received the following information from the service:
"I have spoken to street lighting this morning who have explained
there has been worked carried out in the area by contractors and also Northern
Power Grid (NPG). However the lights are still not working.
"Further to my previous email, I have now spoken with John Dent.
John has explained Balfour Beatty are working on the faults. John is hopeful
the lights will be working by Friday evening.
"John has explained this issue is going to happen in other areas of
Blackhall as the power lines are being replaced. DCC are working with Balfour
Beatty and NPG to be as reactive as they can to the issues".
We've asked for regular updates to help us monitor work on this matter.
We'll continue press for urgency in carrying out repairs.
