Street light repair

"I think that this is pretty poor performance & totally unnacceptable, given that the light is in a vulnerable location which needs illumination for security?
In the past we used to call the Parish Council Secretary because I think this light is probably funded by the PC but calling Central Beds has not been a good "customer experience" in this case.
Should we be calling the PC rather than Central Beds in fact ? With regard to "specialist equipment", 2 men + 1 ladder are all that is required or are we turning in to a nation of litigation-fearing pansies I ask?"

Well the parishioner who got in touch (above) has every reason to feel fed up as the complaint was made on 28 September and nothing has happened yet. The light concerned illuminates a pretty dark pathway. Anyway way one central Beds councillor, one parish council clerk and myself are all on the case. Hopefully this will survive deficit any reduction strategies.
I have to speak up for pansies incidentally as they are the hardiest plants in the garden, out in all weathers.
