Street lamp post covered by tree

Reported via mobile in the Street light category anonymously at 23:17, Wed 29 October 2025

Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8354601.

The light in the corner of the green space heading from Cowling dr to the Whitchurch pathway towards Tibbot Walk is covered by a tree which also towers over the telephones pole/ cables. In early morning and late afternoon it gets really dark and as residents we don’t feel safe walking home, as we are unable to see anyone potentially moving on that side of the pavement or walking up from the cycle pathway. It is a residential area with many families and children and it just isn’t safe.
