Hotham Road North street lights

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured the replacement of five defective street lights at the junction of Hotham Road North and Bricknell Avenue. All we knew for certain about the timing of this work was that it is scheduled to be completed by March 2015 at the latest. It is, of course, part of a long-term programme that we and Andrew have been pursuing for many years in the belief that good street lighting, continuously updated as necessary, contributes materially to a sense of public safety and well-being and also serves as an active deterrent against crime, disorder, and antisocial behaviour. When we have precise dates for the work to be carried out we will of course pass them on, and if at all possible we will arrange for it to be done at the corporate centre's earliest convenience.
