Frustration Over Whitby's Broken Street Lights

Whitby' Mayor says the towns infrastructure is "at tipping point".

Councillor Linda Wild says large parts of the town have street lights that don't work and which haven't been fixed despite numerous reports being made to the county council.

Councillor Wild says no one is listening.

Councillor Linda Wild says she's frustrated with the lack of action from the county council in fixing street lights in the town and says the town is being left in the dark.

Lights on parts of New Quay Road, Baxtergate and Church Street have been out of action for months.

Councillor Wild says it's not good enough.
