The housing developer is responsible for fixing the lights because the new estate is yet to be adopted by the council.
It has said it has now found a new contractor to carry out the work.

“I'm surprised they need streetlights in Kingsway.
I would have thought the light from the 50" plasma TV's in each living room and all the competing Christmas lights, the annoying outside floodlights that come on as someone walks past would be enough to help people avoid all the wheelie bins left out & cars half parked on the pavements there?”

“Is THAT why people can't sell their houses there? Last year's excuse was the un-finished roads, year before was the crime in the area, year before the lack of facilities back then. I thought the various legend that has blighted Kingsway was all sorted now.”
