Dransfield Road street lights could take 30 days to repair

On Saturday 23 April, the Dransfield Road street lights failed to come on.

Street Force were informed and have now got back in touch today to say that the fault is with the underground cable and it could take up to 30 days to repair:

The problem with the street light son Dransfield Road is now caused by a fault on the underground cable network owned and operated by Yorkshire Electricity Distribution Ltd. (YEDL) and has been passed to them. They were notified of the fault (Ref: 261958) yesterday.

YEDL work to repair faults within 30 working days of them receiving notification, however, their priority is to maintain the supply to housing, which in some cases, may mean that street lighting faults take slightly longer to resolve.

Contact will be made with YEDL to try and speed up the investigation and repair of the fault.

In the meantime, drivers and pedestrians are advised to take extra care on Dransfield Road after dark.
