Street Lighting:
To report a faulty lighting unit, contact the Roads team by Phone, Email or Text Message
We are responsible for the repair and maintenance of over 43,000 street lighting units (including associated signs, bollards, traffic lights and pedestrian crossings).
We aim to:
- Repair all known street lighting faults within 7 calendar days
- Repair all traffic light faults within 48 hours (24 hours if a red light is not working)
- Undertake night-time patrols, of all street light units on a fortnightly cycle during the months of September to April
We are not responsible for lighting units on Trunk Roads. Any faulty streetlights on the A90 or A96 should be reported to Bear Scotland.
New Housing Developments
Before work can start on the construction of a new road, the developer must obtain Roads Construction Consent.
The developer is responsible for the provision and maintenance of street lighting on roads and footways that are to be adopted by us.
Once street lighting is operational within a new development, the developer is responsible for its maintenance until we formally adopt the road.
We can offer a design service for road lights on a rechargeable basis, further details on this can be obtained by contacting your Local Roads office.
