There are two types of street light:

Footway lights - these are small columns that light residential roads and foot paths

Highway lights - these are larger columns that light larger roads and highways

From 1 April 2019 a number of town and parish councils decided to assume local management of footway lighting apart from the lights in the council owned car parks.

• Chedgrave
• Costessey
• Diss
• Ditchingham
• Ellingham
• Kirby Cane
• Loddon
• Spooner Row
• Wymondham

To report a fault with a South Norfolk Council footway light, please email Suffolk Highways the following information:

• parish
• street
• column number (normally visible on the column)
• location (for example, outside number 88)

You can check on the reporting tool to see who maintains street lights in your area.

The street lighting provided by the Highway Authority – Norfolk County Council and Saffron housing are directly managed by these organisations – their contact details are as follows:
