Streetlights coming on late

We're aware that some streetlights in the borough are coming on late and we're working to fix the problem as soon as we can.

Who is responsible

  • we are responsible for all public roads in the borough except red routes

  • red routes are maintained by Transport for London. Call 0845 305 1234 for potholes on red routes

  • roads on estates are maintained by your housing association and you should contact them if there is a pothole on the road - see a list of housing associations and contact details

Pothole repairs

  • you can report any pothole but we will send an inspector to assess whether a repair can be carried out

  • if the pothole is too small we cannot fix it as the repair material does not stay in the hole
