A lot of people around here have mentioned it. I noticed that down Anstey Lane they're all on along one side but off on the other side. It looks like they're going to take a while to sort it out, too." A city council spokesperson said: “We are aware of a number of streetlights that are staying on during the day. This is due to a technical issue connected to the recent cyber attack, when we were forced to shut down our IT systems. It means we are currently not able to remotely identify faults in the street lighting system. "The default mode for faults is that the lights stay on to ensure that roads are not left completely unlit and become a safety concern. “There are a number of steps required to resolve the problem, and we are working through these as quickly as we can.” READ NEXT: * ITV Emmerdale favourite dies off-screen six years after last appearance * All Stapleford Park staff lose their jobs after luxury hotel's sudden closure * Boots drops prices on more than 22,000 products in its biggest Black Friday sale * I'm a heating expert — this is the perfect temperature to set your thermostat and could save you 10% * Megabus to stop all Leicester services as National Express steps in Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
