About six weeks ago the streetlight across the road from us stopped working. Somehow the socket has come loose, the wires broke and socket and bulb are lying on the bottom inside the light fixture.
I reported this via the website of the council, I even included a picture. Since it still hasn't been fixed I called the council. I was told they need to send a specialist to see if the light is really broken. Sigh. I told her I'm from the electro technical store across the street and that we are specialist and can see that, indeed, the light fixture is broken. I also warned her about the two dangling live wires.
She pooh poohed and said she would send a repair order to the right department. Why would it take over six weeks to send someone to check it out?
Not sure how the socket, or rather just above the socket could have broken off. But it happened with a streetlight around the corner years ago.
