I am sure that many of you are also concerned about the long stretch of the Godstone Road without streetlights between Hayes Lane and Little Roke Road. These have been out since at least 16 December, and as there are no houses here, it is very dark indeed and feels very treacherous walking along the road as a pedestrian.
As this is on the Transport for London (TfL) network, TfL are responsible for their maintenance and repair. It’s possible to report issues such as this directly to TfL through their ‘Streetcare service’, and you can view several reports on this issue here.
Over the Christmas period as they hadn’t been resolved through Streetcare I reported them directly to TfL via TfL’s councillor liaison officer and have received a report back today. TfL’s Assets team have investigated the situation and it has been identified as a UK Power Networks (UKPN) issue which cannot be resolved by TfL or its contractor. The matter has been escalated to UKPN and TfL is waiting for them to resolve the issue.
It has now been escalated as a priority on safety grounds and I will provide an update here once I have received it from TfL.
