Street lights

Please report any issues with streetlights - such as lights not working, flickering, left on during the day, obscured by trees - so we can come and fix it for you. Call us on (04) 237 5089 or fill out the form below. It would also be helpful if you could give us specific details about the location of the light (and if more than one light is out).

LED street lights are being installed across the city over the next few months. These provide a softer white light that can be directed where it is needed and are more energy efficient when compared to the older street lights. Switching to LED lights will provide the following benefits:

• Better light that gives clearer colours and detail - leading to safer streets
  
• Less light pollution as the light can be directed
  
• Cleaner for our environment - recyclable and contain no toxic material
  
• Energy saving - use a third of the energy compared to existing lights
  
• Longer life - last four to six times longer
  
• Reduce the city's power and maintenance bills
  
• Quick to light up
