1. Summary
1.1 This report considers the various elements of the Street Lighting service which affect the Rushmoor 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
