STREET LIGHTING FAULT: BRIGG BLOG TRIES PLAN B


Having had no luck with many posts about the street light that's been out of action on St Helen 's Road, Brigg, since late last year we have tried Plan B late yesterday afternoon (Friday, November 17).
Several searches of North Lincolnshire Council's website directed us to an online method of logging faults of this nature.
So we've given that a go in the hope it pays dividends.
A second light that's "out" on the same street was also logged by using the same online form.
It must be an age thing, but we'd rather have made a phone call and spoken  to someone in person.
You can access the fault logging system through this link...
Back in the 1970s, when Humberside County Council was responsible for street lights it had a depot off Westrum Lane. We knew someone who worked there to whom faulty lights could be reported, knowing speedy action would follow.
The picture above shows one of the fault lights on St Helen's Road. We took it in March this year while on our way home from a visit to several Brigg hostelries.
