Dangerous street lights
Some street light faults are hazardous and dangerous to the public:
- exposed cables
- damaged, knocked down, or unstable street lights
- missing or loose doors and covers
Please ring 0161 217 6111 to report the fault. Please provide us with as much information as possible on the location of the fault so that we can fix the problem quickly. Do not cover up or touch the wiring.
You can use this form to report a fault with a street light. You can tell us if the light is:
- flickering
- glowing red
- not working
- it's on all day
We aim to fix reported street light faults within 14 days.
Some repairs may take longer due to electrical supply issues or if we need planned traffic management to help us carry out the work safely.
