Streetlights
The Council
is responsible for the placement and maintenance of street lights on
public streets. If you have a problem with street or pedestrian lights
not working, staying on during the day, flickering, or damaged, please
tell the Council.
You
can contact our
Customer Service Centre
or telephone 09 295 1300. Our staff will record the details of the
situation. These will then be passed onto the Council's Roading
Engineer, who will investigate any problems, and if necessary take
remedial action.
To make sure
that it’s fixed quickly, the Council needs to know as much of the
following information as possible:
-
Where is the street light? eg the house number and street name that
the streetlight is outside/opposite, or any other identifying feature.
-
What is the problem? eg insufficient light, it’s not working, a car’s
hit the pole, it’s shining into my home.
Do you
want to move a streetlight?
The
Council is unable to remove a streetlight completely. If a light can be
moved, then it can only be moved a maximum of 1 metre. In some cases, it
cannot be moved at all. Please note that the cost to move a streetlight,
must be borne by the person requesting the move.
All requests must be made in
writing and include exact location and an explanation of why you would
like it moved.
Please send your request to
