Regarding street
lighting, the Electricity Board have been cataloguing the various light
fittings used in each area and it appears that repairs in the meantime have been
put on the back burner. Tala Council
has now been presented with a proposal to replace over 600 sodium high pressure
lights and this is being considered.
Pending a decision by
the Council, the Electricity Board are not carrying out repairs or replacement
of street light fittings if they are of the Sodium type [there are in excess of
800 ‘swan neck’ fitting lights in addition to the Sodium ones]. If you have a street light bulb that needs
replacing or is faulty, could you please email me on toffee@primehome.com in the first
instance instead of ringing 1800. Tala
Council have found a ‘work round’ solution in the short term and will endeavour
to get lighting issues resolved via this route.
As previously please
supply the number from the pole, and the street name.
