Reporting Faults
The best way to report faulty street lights or illuminated road signs is
on-line at www.lightsoninstoke.co.uk
You can also telephone
free on 0800 328 7709. 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 on-line, the site will guide you to select the exact light or sign you wish to report.

Equipment
Damaged street lighting or illuminated road signs may be extremely dangerous and should be
