Call 0191 519 6060 or send an email to lightit@bbisl.com if you have any queries regarding replacements.
The order that the columns are replaced will depend on the condition, material and age of the column.
Steel columns suffering the onset of corrosion will be replaced first, followed by concrete columns, pole mounted units, columns older than 20 years and finally all other outstanding columns that need replacing.

Replacement programme
As part of the replacement programme, street lighting will be re-designed to meet current standards. New columns may be installed in the same location as the existing columns or, to meet with current standards the new columns may need to be positioned in a different location. The current standards require a minimum and consistent level of light, which might not be achieved without changing the position and spacing of the lights. We may add lanterns to existing poles to avoid unnecessary clutter.
If you would like to see a plan of the work that is being carried out, please make an appointment with a customer care officer by calling 0191 519 6060.
A circle will be marked to indicate the proposed position of the lighting column. Please note that once the column is installed it is unlikely that its position will be altered.
Throughout the replacement programme, local residents and businesses will be kept fully informed.
