Broken Street Light

Note:

  • If the light in question has a Green balloon, this indicates that the lighting has not been taken in charge by the Council and you must contact the (estate) developer to look after the fault.
  • If the light in question has a Red balloon, this indicates that a fault has already been logged for this light and there is no need to log another one.
  • If the light has a Red balloon with “no supply”, this indicates that the lights have not yet been connected to the ESB supply and require works.
  • If the light in question has a Green balloon, this indicates that the lighting has not been taken in charge by the Council and you must contact the (estate) developer to look after the fault.
