Leicester - Wycliffe Ward

Probably the 5th attempt to try and get this light fixed. It’s always marked as completed without ever getting done. This light plays a vital part in aiding the overall street as well as the sign and in a street full of elderly disabled residents, some priority should be given to this job. The street lights are also dimmer than usual which has left many complaining about evening and night time visibility. Can this please be looked into.-House, 49 Matlock Street, Leicester, LE2 0GS

Following the recent street lighting renewal program on Lorne Road, contractors replaced the legacy columns with new metal poles. ​However, the statutory Zone K Resident Permit Parking restriction signage previously mounted on this column was not transferred over and is entirely missing. ​Because the bay now lacks required Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) signage, the underlying Traffic Regulation Order cannot be legally enforced by Civil Enforcement Officers.-Flat 1, 338 Victoria Park Road, Leicester, LE2 1XF
