Street lighting

Street light with number

We are responsible for the maintenance and repair of approximately 56,000 street lights and 6,150 lit signs and bollards throughout Manchester 's 1,444km road network.

Christmas/Festive Lights

Throughout the year we install and maintain festive lights in both in the City Centre and in some of the district centres.

Only approved festive lighting and decorations may be attached to our street furniture, to ensure that members of the public are not put at risk, and that street furniture is not damaged or obscured. 

You should contact us if you are having an event and are planning to use festive lights on the highway.

Belisha beacons

A zebra crossing with black and white bars across the road is marked with flashing yellow belisha beacons.

What you can do  

Report a problem with street lights and we will investigate.
