Margaret Mullane, The Labour Party Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, recently contacted UK Power Network in regard to the street lighting on Billet Road.
Due to a fault in UK Power Networks grid, Billet Road in Marks Gate has been without street lighting since December 2023.
Margaret contacted UK Power Network and stressed the urgency in the lighting being restored. She has since heard back following an investigation from the Lead Field Engineer.
UK Power Network said: "The teams have located the problem, however, the issue we have is the traffic management that is required in order for us to complete a repair.
Due to the location of the fault a road closure will be needed and in order to minimise disruption we have been trying to arrange night time working. The teams are currently liaising with all relevant parties now regarding traffic management.
Once the issue regarding the traffic management is resolved, we will be able to complete the works straight away."
Margaret said: "I thank UK Power Network for their attention to this matter. I will continue to keep residents informed on progress made."
