Potholes - crews are filling potholes that have been reported to us. Please report any potholes you spot here or via the Everyday Telford app.

Street lighting – crews are working on upgrading street lights in Wrockwardine, Great Dawley, Hollinswood and Randlay and Newport. As the teams upgrade the street lights in each area, they inspect each column and light first. In some cases, the column needs replacing and so it will be at this point that the new LEDs are installed. Some are in need of further inspection, and so these too are being done later. The full LED programme will be completed by April. If you have a question about street lighting, please email streetlighting@telford.gov.uk.

Improvements in Hollies Road and surrounding area in Wellington – crews are finishing off some signing and speed cushion works, which are likely to be completed in the week of 21 January. Final work to the surfacing of Cranage Crescent and Steventon Road will be done on 18 January and should last no more than a day. More information, including FAQs and contact details here.
