Allderidge Avenue relighting

John Fareham and John Abbott have allocated funds for the relighting of Allderidge Avenue with traditional-style street lights. The new lights are to be funded from reallocated Community Safety fund money and will be traditional rather than modern in design in response to the overwhelming preference expressed by local residents for that kind of design. They will look somewhat like the ones in Mead Road near Anlaby Park but we have impressed on the officers that street lamps like those would be too tall for Allderidge Avenue and we want shorter ones installing here. This is of course part of the long-term strategy we have in place to relight the whole ward to modern luminescence levels in the belief that good street lighting improves community safety and goes some way towards deterring crime.
