No idea but if you take down the number on the post and phone the council.

Did that about 6 weeks ago but nothing happened. Phoned again this morning, so we'll see.

reported 14 myself yesterday, find out more on my casebook about how to get streetlights near you fixed

Not registered so your facebook casebook will remain a mystery to me and many more of the electorate I would imagine.

cut backs i think.just need to carry a torch with u. at least it will be a bit brighter with the xmas lights.heard today it was council workers from lochgilphead that came down to help erect them. wouldnt it be more cost efficient to let the local work force do it

I have really noticed the street lights being out in the last few weeks and it's very dangerous! I reported at least 10 not working on the council's website 2 weeks ago but none of them have been fixed just yet, hopefully will get fixed soon.

Especially bad at some points near Kintyre Park, Meadows Avenue, very bad at Tomaig Road, Glebe Street and terrible right outside Dalintober School.

Noticed the ones out at Dalintober Primary School tonight myself.

Goodness what are our footballers going to do for training if the street lights don't work?!

Think I've reported the same one as Katfer twice already over the phone. Really dangerous as it is the last one on the street - Many a wet feet coming home round the corner.

I know the cuts are bad, but surely not to change a light bulb!

A few out in Carradale and one in need of serious attention (hanging by its cable) .

Oddly enough some people do not mind if they blackout, they prefer the darkness .

Were is our man Jim who seems to have a big task on his hands,or has the council paid off our only street sparky?
