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
718003
Email: highways.helpdesk@bedford.gov.uk
Fax: 01234

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