Inspection and repair

Street lighting, traffic signs and bollards

We are responsible for the maintenance of 30,000 street lights, illuminated bollards, railings and traffic signs throughout Calderdale. Where a street light, sign or bollard is reported as not working we aim to repair the item with 4 working days.

We carry out regular night patrols to locate defective street lighting but also rely on members of the public informing us of street lighting that is not working where they live. If you know of any defective lighting please contact us.

Lamp columns, illuminated / non-illuminated bollards, railings, street signs and street nameplates often become damaged following road traffic accidents, vandalism or inconsiderate driving. If you see someone damage any of the above please contact Highways . The following information will assist us in locating and repairing the defect as quickly as possible:

• Street name
• Nearest house number or landmark
• Column number
• A description of the problem (e.g. the light is out / the light is constantly on / the light is flickering / the door is missing / there are wires exposed)
• If the damage was caused by a motorist a vehicle registration number will assist us in recouping any costs.
