The best way to report faulty street lights or illuminated road signs is online.
Click on the link for Lights On In Islington under Useful Websites on the right.
You can also telephone free on 0800 5877492. This number operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
In addition to providing the name of the road, it will help if you can identify where the equipment is - for example, 'outside house number 20'. Street lamp posts each have a number. It would be very helpful if you have the number of the faulty lamp post when you report it.
If you report faults online, the site will guide you to select the exact light or sign you wish to report.
Damaged Equipment
Damaged street lighting or illuminated road signs may be extremely dangerous and should be reported immediately using methods described above.
