Time Scales
- South Holland District Council lights should be repaired within 7-10 working days
- Lincolnshire County Council lights should be repaired within 7 working days
A repair is classed as urgent if it is:
- Damaged due to a road traffic accident
- Wires showing and the terminal cover has been removed or damaged
Please note that in some cases a lamp column or pole bracket may need replacing if it is in very bad condition which can take longer than the normal time scales.
Requesting New Lamp Columns
To request installation of new street lights please contact your Parish Council. If you live in one of the Spalding Wards and do not come under a Parish Council please contact Building Control on 01775 761161 or speak to your Ward Member.
