Some areas, like new residential estates, have decorative streetlights. We can fix these quickly if the fault relates to the lighting or wiring. However, if the pole is damaged, it may be replaced with a standard pole if we can't get a replacement to ensure public safety. 

To read more on decorative streetlights and when to contact your local council, see Types of streetlights. Or to report a faulty decorative streetlight, go to Faulty streetlights.
