Blackout on Bulwell road where streetlights have stopped working

A town has been left in darkness for a week after a stretch of street lights on a main road stopped working. Residents first reported the problem on Friday, January 6, and explained that on Hempshill Lane, from Low Road Road until the Northern Cemetery, in Bulwell, the street lights were not working.

Bulwell resident, Elaine Woodacre, 65, has described the situation as needing an "urgent" fix. She said: "It's so dangerous, it's pitch black.

"You could either get mugged, you could fall over, as unless a car is coming up that road you literally can't see. Where the bus turns in it's pitch black, there is nothing there whatsoever and the buses just drive by; they are not coming in, so on Saturday we were stood there and they were going by."
