I know it’s Christmas-time and my thoughts should be on other things, but when it’s right outside your front window – the broken/non-working street light is hard to ignore. In fact, due to Christmas I haven’t really been too minded about hassling Urban Vision about the street light.

However, this evening I was clearing out old emails and came across the email (and reply!) I sent to Urban Vision about the street light which is not working on Seedley Park Road. Monday 30th November was the date – and I even received an email back confirming that it would be added to the list of jobs.

What is taking so long? Four weeks to fix a street light?

Once we are well into the new year, I’ll be highlighting this with Lead Members as an example of how inefficient the Council’s highway repairs are tasked and carried out (if ever). Things must change in 2010. It is unacceptable to pay through the nose, by way of council tax, for the quite frankly crap service we all get from Salford Council.
