Who this template is for

Street Light Fault Report is built for councils, agencies and public bodies who need to run a public request or application to a consistent standard.

  • Councils, agencies and public bodies working in government & public sector.
  • Teams who need to run a public request or application to a consistent standard without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing paper forms that are slow to process and hard to audit with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are residents and applicants — the form asks them 14 questions across 1 screen.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of paper forms that are slow to process and hard to audit and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 8 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features conditional validation: if “What is wrong with it?” is The door on the post is open or wiring is showing, “Is anyone able to reach the wiring?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “How many lights are affected?” is Several, or the whole street, “How far does it stretch?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Is the area left completely dark?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Is it on a route to a school, station or steps?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

How is this different from the quick council report?

The Quick Council Issue Report covers any issue in a couple of fields. This one asks the lighting questions a crew needs: the column number, the fault type and how many lights are out.

What if there is no visible column number?

Street, nearest number and a landmark are required for that reason, and a photograph usually settles the location on its own.

Is an open post door urgent?

It is an electrical hazard rather than a lamp fault, so the form asks whether the wiring can be reached and that answer should be routed immediately.

How long will a repair take?

That depends on the fault, the parts and whether traffic management is needed, so publish your own target times beside the form rather than in it.

Is the Street Light Fault Report template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Street Light Fault Report on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
