Latest on YPI floodlights

John Fareham and John Abbott report that an Official Caution has been served against the YPI for leaving its floodlights on too long. The caution relates specifically to the all weather pitch’s floodlights being on in breach of the Enforcement Notice between 24th and 30th November. The manager of the YPI said that the floodlights are now controlled from a locked cabinet inside the boiler room and the external switch has been boxed in so those playing on the grounds cannot fiddle with the switches. Both we and the officers hope this will prevent any other occurrences of extra time with the lights on. There is a separate issue with the lighting on the all-weather tennis courts – the planning conditions relating to this are being checked so that those lights can also be switched off at the appropriate times.
