Street lamps are still not working, as reported before.

Reported via mobile in the Street lighting category anonymously at 11:43, Wed 19 April 2023

Sent to Hampshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4460266.

Street lamps in Links way southwood are still not working. This was reported at the begining of the year. I was given the run around then and had to report to various departments. I will not be doing it again. FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

  • I received this email: Thank you for contacting Hampshire County Council concerning the repairs to damaged underground electricity cables in Links Way and the surrounding area of Southwood.

    As far as I can tell the bulk of these repairs have now been completed. I can see there is still several outstanding faults, in Gleneagle Drive and Ively Road North, which have been reported to Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks again on 13th April. These are programmed for repair by 5th June. My Reply: Good evening Julian, Thank you for your email. I have just driven down Links way and I can assure you that the street lamps are still out. It is 21.30 and pitch black along that road. This was reported long ago and nothing has been done. I trust you will investigate.

    Kind regards Kevin.

  • Morning Kevin

    I don’t think I was looking far enough along the road to spot where the faults were.

    My contractor chased this up with SSEN on 21st April but has had no reply to date. I’ve escalated this with my contract Operations Manager as this fault should have been repaired by mid-February.

    I can only apologise for the continuing inconvenience this is causing. Many thanks Julian Higgins Eng Tech, AMILP Assistant Highways Manager (ITS & Street Lighting) Street Lighting Section Hampshire County Highways Hampshire County Council c/o SSE Contracting Solent Park, Walton Road, Portsmouth Hants PO6 1UJ 0300 555 1388 (Contact Centre) Email: julian.higgins@hants.gov.uk SO NOBODY CHASES THE CHASER WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE PAID FOR? RESIDENCE OF SOUTHWOOD, CONSIDER ASKING FOR A REFUND OF YOUR COUNCIL TAX, OR ONLY PAY HALF NEXT YEAR.
