Resident Phillip Page said: “We were amazed to see there were five men to put this lightbulb in – two vans and one car, and one supervisor – but it is out already.”

A quick look on Google Street View reveals Street lights mounted on the same Wooden poles as the Electricity Supply cables (overhead lines).

So, a non-story which a local rag should have researched a bit better.

There seems to be a light bulb / light bulbs discrepancy.



Angry.

Dont trust local papers, they talk utter bks much of the time.

Our local one cannot decide whether it likes the council or not. They will take every opporunity to report half cock stories of waste or silly use of money but at the same time they try to defend the council against the current cuts.

a concerned resident said:
Although annoyed by the situation, Mrs Bartram is most concerned about the safety of her neighbours. “We have a neighbour in her eighties and she comes in at 10pm three times a week because of dialysis,” she said. “It is pitch black and only a matter of time before she falls. Somebody else has fallen over, it’s dangerous. We can’t see anything.”
So this light has been out a year (just one light mind, not all of them)? Might I suggest a torch would help with the fearsome risk of one part of the road being a bit darker than the rest?
