Crosspool residents left in the dark over faulty street lights

Dransfield Road, the lower part of Watt Lane and neighbouring roads into Ranmoor have been without working street lights for over a week.

The problem was reported on Sunday 7 October to Street Force but the street lights have not yet been repaired. We’re awaiting their response to find out how serious the issue is and when a repair will happen.

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

Previous problems with street lights in this area were caused by a faulty underground cable, which can take up to 30 days to fix.

Update at 7pm: the street lights are working again now on Dransfield Road.
