Bury Grove shade wrongly positioned on L003

Reported via desktop in the Canopy or Shade Hanging category anonymously at 18:57, Mon 8 December 2025

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1265959-Y5L7R2.

Due to the incorrectly installed shades which are now positioned BELOW the main light, more light is now shinning into the (even number) houses opposite than down on to the road. If you visit after dark when the lamp is operational you will see exactly what the problem is. I am not able to photograph it. This was reported several times earlier this year.
