Reports about a lack of shining street lights have been coming from residents in Ásland and downtown Hafnarfjörður. The lack of light downtown can be traced down to developments in the area, every effort is made to restore it. In Ásland, however, there were repeated failures and the work was immediately undertaken, but the restoration took several days. There may be several reasons why lamps may not work well, e.g. broken lamp/lamp, cable failure or transformer station. Residents are encouraged to register tips about any lack of light directly trough the town’s suggestion portal and the matter will immediately go straight to the right people.
Alongside the municipality’s 100% LED-ization, there is an installation of new controls in the town’s entire lighting system, which will facilitate all diagnostic work and responses to lack of light. This work will take 2-3 years and in the meantime information and suggestions/tips on lack of light will need to be prepared in good co-operation with the residents and businesses in the town.
