Reporting street lighting problems

Westmeath County Council contracted Electric Skyline Limited to maintain the public lighting. So far, they have fixed lighting problems in the estate within 24 hours of when they were reported. To report a street light fault, a report form is available at http://www.electricskyline.ie/report-fault.html . When reporting a problem, include the following information

  • The number on the pole
  • The street or estate e.g. Ashefield
  • The location of the light (for example, outside house number 23)
  • Your name and contact number

Streetlights and the council’s new website

Reporting faulty streetlights – spotted any more in need of repair recently? Also – Westmeath Co. Co. has a new website.

Westmeath Co. Co. has been made aware of the need to fix a streetlight outside #130 Ashefield. Update: Airtricity is expected to fix this within the next few days

Have you spotted any other streetlights in need of repair in the area? If so, please do add the details using the comments area below. If you can, please include the nearest house number and streetlight number. The streetlight number is located about halfway up the pole on a yellow or white sticker.

The council’s newly re-designed website is worth taking a look at.  Thankfully, they have worked on making it easier to find essential information and services, and have included a handy map to help locate services like recycling facilities and libraries.  A ‘tell us’ page was also added but does not include a specific maintenance report form for problems like faulty streetlights.  However, it looks like they should easily be able to add this option.

Have you any suggestions for them to make it easier to find the information you need? If so, why not contact them directly or if you prefer, use the comments area below and we can pass them on to them.
