Street light repairs delayed due to safety risks

Donegal County Council has paused repair works on public street lights this week to protect the safety of staff.

As a result of the recent storms and power outages, the ESB has issued a Safety Notice prohibiting any activity on its network.

It would appear that in some locations there are significant numbers of lights out in a row or close proximity, leaving areas particularly dark after 4.30pm.

In a public notice, Donegal County Council and its contractor said they are aware of the outages and will endeavour to expedite repairs once the ESB restrictions are lifted.

However, it is important to note that the ESB has advised that when restrictions are lifted there may still be damage on the network, so it is imperative that all checks and tests are carried out as set out in the work procedures and prior to undertaking any action / fault repairs at each location.

Where any abnormal test findings are found, then the Council has been instructed to cease work and notify the Live Working Manager/System Manager.  This will further elongate the repairs process.

In the meantime, public light outages can be reported on the report a fault option through the Council’s website www.donegalcoco.ie
