Investigating
Obstructed Streetlight
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8681730.
There are 2 streetlights on our road obstructed by overgrown greenery. One is completely obstructed by a tree with no light reaching the pavement and the other is semi-obstructed by ivy but soon to be entirely obstructed. As you can imagine, the lack of lighting is a concern to nearby residents, and a waste of energy when they are on every night but with no purpose.
The streetlights are too obscured to read the column numbers. However, the What3Words location of these 2 streetlights are: - lend.limes.tribe - brave.hurls.pull
Please find attached a photo of one of the streetlights.
