2 Lamp posts Nos. 21/23 on the bridge Gap Road

Reported via desktop in the Other Street Lighting issue category anonymously at 12:22, Tuesday 14 April 2026

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1279459-W8W8K9.

On 23. On the bridge the light has been out for 2 years. No 21. Is at one end of the bridge. The light has all tree branches covering it so there is no light. This is a hazard as there is nearly no light shining so people do not feel safe when coming home in the dark.
