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

Street lighting – crews are upgrading street lights in Wrockwardine, Wellington, Newport, Hollinswood and Randlay. 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 LED programme will be completed by April. If you have a question about street lighting, please email streetlighting@telford.gov.uk.

Drainage works – improvements to footpath drainage near Sir Alexander Flemming School, Sutton Hill starts today and will take about 4 days to complete.
