I telephoned the council last week to report a street light outside my home wasn't working,and again today I rang to ask when the repair would be carried out. The girl I spoke to was very polite but informed me it wouldn't be attended to immediately as someone has to travel to this area to carry out any maintenance required!

Same here when I phoned I was told there are only 2 men now and they have to cover the whole of Argyll....so it can be a long wait..

As quoted only two men, one more from the days when Jim Kelly was our main man.I do the lamp reporting for Carradale with no problems,the reason they are slower to respond at this time is the christmas lights going up.I spoke to the lady today and if you can give not only the street,but the lamp number it will help speed up the repair.Obviously with the clocks going back we now have to depend on the lights working whilst walking home from were ever.

When Jim Kelly carried out the maintenance of our street lights the work was carried out swiftly and efficiently. Hats off to Jim for keeping the town well lit over the years
