Haaaaaaaaaa Quids-lad...these are proper lights. With twirly tinsel up the lampposts and all.


I'm surprised, Scotslass. I can't for the life of me remember seeing them before...hopefully I shall forget again this year and will receive another pleasant surprise next year haha.

Hi Brandnewguy and Laddy Muck,

The pavement lights are being replaced with versions that can be maintained.

The old one;s were installed pre my election in 2006. Whoever planned it didnt make sure the council lighting department could maintain them. So gradually they died.


The replacements are a slightly larger bore. So the old holes have had to be dimaond drilled out. They've been temporarily tarmaced to stop them being a trip hazard.

If the original plan is stuck to - which with the very cold weather I doubt (things don't set at these temperatures) - then the new progammable LED's will be working from 17 DEcember.

I'll double check the date today.

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
