No lighting -hazard to pedestrians
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8455588.
On the curve in Burnhouse Road opposite No.41, there is no street lighting. This area of footpath is in total darkness at night - a hazard for pedestrians (it’s easy to lose your footing and slip off the pavement) and can be intimidating to the elderly and to women. There is a post across the road with electrical fixtures. Could this post be used for a new light? I always have to carry a torch if out walking along this stretch of road at night. I’ve lived on Burnhouse Road since 2016 and there has not been a light in this position in all that time.

Thank you for contacting Northumberland County Council. Unfortunately, we do not receive funding for additional lighting. I will add your details to our list of resident requests should any funding become available in the future.
It may be worthwhile contacting your County Councillor who does have a small allocation to carry out schemes within their area and they may be willing to consider your request as one of their small schemes.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
