Council encouraging residents to report broken, damaged or vandalised streetlights

The Council says by reporting broken, damaged or vandalised streetlights to Essential Energy the community is helping to create and maintain a street lighting system that is reliable, energy efficient and safer for the community.

“It is important that the community reports these issues,” said Narromine Shire Council general manager Jane Redden.

“Unfortunately our staff are not patrolling the streets regularly at night to monitor the street lighting system, so we rely on the community to report it if there is an issue,” she said.

“If the problems are not reported it is likely they will not be repaired for some time,” said Ms Redden. 

Council currently pays $130,000 to Essential Energy in electricity for the Street lighting system in the Shire.
