GENERAL ALERT: Street Lighting - C403 From Brock Lane Along to Wembley Gardens
We are aware of the street lighting being off in this area. This is due to a fire at a feeder pillar on Brock Lane.
We are working hard to get this feeder pillar replaced quickly, however, it will then need to be connected to the overhead electricity network by Northern Powergrid which may take some time.
Lighting will be restored as soon as possible.
