What Should I Do If the Street Light Issue Is Urgent?

AI Summary

If you have an urgent street light issue, it's crucial to report it immediately. For emergency situations such as exposed wiring, damaged lamp posts, or anything posing a safety threat, you should call the emergency contact number.

Here’s what to do based on the type of emergency:

Type of Issue Contact Number Availability
General street lighting emergencies 0131 608 1100 10am to 4pm (Mon-Thurs), 10am to 3:30pm (Fri)
Outside standard working hours 0131 200 2000 After 4pm (Mon-Thurs), weekends
Stair lighting emergencies (if in council-owned block) 0131 200 2345 During standard working hours only

Make sure to provide as much detail as possible when you call. This will help the council respond quickly and effectively to the issue. If it's a non-urgent matter, consider using the online form to report a street light problem instead.
