Street lights arent working., 1st February
The lights aren't working properly, 90% of the time they dont work and when they do work they are on for a few minutes then go off again and then repeat most of the night! It is a safety issue as it makes this area very dark and unsafe as it is a walk through for pedestrians plus getting to my front door.
There are 4 lights in this area and none are working properly! (3 can be seen in the pic)
