Dark area on cycle track light beeded

Reported via mobile in the Damaged / Missing / Facing Wrong Way category anonymously at 16:58, Monday 16 February 2026

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8933360.

Last week I reported the above under 8878906. I can see from my camera you have been however visiting in day light will not show the issue. This area is extremely dark when walking towards the footpath which runs along the cycle track at the end of Filey Close. When it is dark you cannot see people but you can hear and this make people feel unsafe. Can this be looked into getting an additional lamppost or adding a double head on the one which you visited. This is a potential point where people could be attached in the dark without being aware some one is there.
