This street light is at a junction with a alleyway. However, the large tree is blocking most of the light resulting in it being very dark coming along the alleyway onto the footpath. Could you assist the resident with remedial work on the tree or alert them to the issue? It is situated near the broken paving by a small drain (reported earlier) and can be hazardous at night.

  • No action has been taken. The tree is overgrown - hanging over the garden fence and into the walkway. It totally obscures the light and coupled with the broken drain cover, it represents a potential hazard. Please can it be addressed.
