Home Report street lighting and street furniture

Redbridge has approximately 21,500 street lights (also known as lamp Picfture of street lampposts or lamp standards) and over 6,000 illuminated signs and bollards.  If you find that one of these lights are damaged, faulty or broken then you can report it to us and we'll repair it.

However, we are not responsible for street furniture and signs on the following roads, then you will need to contact Transport for London (TfL).

  • A12 (Eastern Avenue)
  • A1400 (Woodford Avenue)
  • A406 (Barking Relief Road)

If traffic lights are also out you will need to contact TfL (Transport for London).
