The light is being blocked almost completely by an overgrown tree.

Reported via mobile in the Street light category anonymously at 19:19, Tue 25 November 2025

Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8464948.

Our cars were stolen on Friday night, and I’m sure the fact that the bottom part of branksome road is pitch black at night was a contributing factor. Everyone in the local vicinity is now very worried about their safety.
