Street Lighting

There are approximately 11,000 street lights and illuminated traffic signs on highways in our area. Well lit roads not only help to reduce traffic accidents but also help in reducing crime, and the fear of crime, against people and their property.

Please report all street lighting faults to Bedfordshire Highways Section:
Phone:  01234 228661
Email:  highways@bedscc.gov.uk
Fax:  01234 408010


(it helps us if you can quote the specific number from the lighting column).

We do carry out regular night inspections of all lamps, every two weeks in winter and every four weeks in summer. Repairs are generally attended within five working days. However, some types of fault take longer to complete (e.g. those requiring the services of the local electricity company.)
