Log a wait

Street lights, Hull City Council. Somewhere else?

This does not report it to the council. Report it to Hull City Council first, then log the wait here. A lamp post knocked down, leaning or with wires showing is an emergency: call 01482 300 300.

Good or bad, every wait counts. A quick wait tells us as much as a slow one.

What was it?

Date you reported it to the council

The day you first reported it, online or by phone. Your best estimate is fine.

How did it end?

Date it was fixed, or you gave up

I gave up. It was never fixed.

I'm still waiting. Start my clock. We'll email about once a month to ask if you're still waiting.

Times you chased it up (optional)

Enter 0 if you reported it once and left it.

Postcode area it is in (optional)

The first part only, such as HU5. It lets us show waits by area.

Where is it? Tap the map to drop a pin (optional)

Put the pin on the lamp post or the pavement beside it, not on a house. It appears on the public map with the dates, and nothing else.

No pin yet.

Your email

To confirm your wait and send you your record. If you're still waiting, we also email about once a month to ask. Deleted once your wait is finished. Never published or passed on.

I agree to this wait being stored and used in combined figures for this council, as set out in the privacy notice. It says that I reported this, and if I add a pin, the pin and dates appear on the public map, and I can ask for it to be deleted at any time.

This is a true account of my own experience, or of someone I was with or caring for, to the best of my memory.

Dates, a postcode area and a pin on the street. We never ask who you are or where you live.
