Report a problem with a street light

Let us know about problems with street lights, belisha beacons, and other illuminated street furniture.

Before you start

You should report any fault relating to a red route directly to Transport for London (TfL) - any reports we receive will be passed on to TfL along with your contact details.

If a street light or lit sign is dangerous or could cause physical damage, for example:

  • Leaning/fallen
  • Inspection door missing
  • Wires exposed
  • Smoking/sparking

Do not complete this form, but contact us immediately on 020 871 6000, 24 hours a day.

Do not attempt to help by covering up or touching the wires, and warn children to keep away if necessary.

You will need

  • Your details (name, address and postcode)
  • Location of problem (name of road, nearest house number and landmarks)
  • A brief description of the problem

Any defect reported to us will be inspected, and if appropriate, programmed for repair.
