Reporting street light faults

These faults are usually easy to get rectified, and the sooner you report the problem the sooner it will be fixed.

Problems are dealt with by West Sussex County Council's contractors, Southern Electric. The fault could include:

• street lights not functioning correctly;
• bollards displaced;
• bare wires visible; or,
• where the top of the light column is shrouded by trees.

There are two easy ways you can report faults - by phone or online. Both methods are free of charge. Before contacting them, please make a note of:

• the column number - there is a number marked on every light column, often near eye level. Or there should be a sticker attached to other items;
• the street; and,
• approximate location.

You can find their contact details under contacts.
