Street lights not working?
Now that the dark nights are fast approaching, I suspect that some of you will start noticing the road and footpath lights that aren't working.
If the lamp post has a number on it, you can report it to the council directly by filling in a form on the SHDC website. See link below

Unfortunately, if the lamp post in question does not have a number on it, this means that the road or footpath that it is on has not yet been adopted by either the county council for roadway lights or the district council (but not always!) for footway lights. Non-working lights must then be reported directly to the developer, with a description of the exact location.
From experience, it can be far from easy to actually get unmarked lights fixed. This is mainly due to the contractor working during the daytime and therefore not be able to see for themselves that the lights aren't working! You think you've given them the exact location, but they still go and fix the one on the other side of the road!
If you find any lights not working and they don't have a number on them, let me know the location and I will do my best to get them fixed. Email me at myshdc@fsmail.net

Wygate Park has not been built to a standard that supports such weight and it is now starting to show.
So the developers or the council has 2 options.
Rebuild the road to a standard that can support HGV traffic (the speed ramps will need replacing) or put a weight limit on the road.
I have noted at least two areas where the ramps to the block paved areas are sinking and will write to both Kier and county highways about these.
