Item 11 |
Contact: Tony Stephens, ext 6938 email: [email protected]
1. Summary
1.1 This report considers the various elements of the Street Lighting service which affect the Fareham area.
2. Street Lighting Maintenance
2.1 The maintenance of the street lighting stock continues much the same as advised in previous reports, in that approximately 99% of all lights are on at any one time. The contractor's performance has improved in the area of planned maintenance, but he is still experiencing problems in completing some ordered works on time and reducing repeat visits.
3. Column Replacement Programme
3.1 Problems associated with replacing the County Council's obsolete stock continue and a £1.8 million programme is in place for this year. However, the stock is still deteriorating and it is anticipated that funding of about £5 million per annum is required for each of the next 10 years to get back on track with the current backlog of work.
