Lighting
If you wish to report a broken streetlight, you can call 0800 032 5349.
Before reporting, please note that streetlights along certain roads will be switched off between midnight and 4.30am as part of the selective part-night street lighting scheme.
To report a fault, you can use the ‘report a lighting fault’ form here.
Recycling
There are eight recycling sites in the local area which tend to be quietest before 11am and after 3pm.
If you wish to visit one of these sites, you will need to remember your Leeds Resident Permit to gain entry.
