Barrington Avenue street light replacement

John Fareham and John Abbott wish to know whether street lights such as are fitted in Allderidge Avenue would be a suitable replacement for those now in Barrington Avenue, which are in imminent need of replacement. As local residents will be aware the existing Barrington Avenue lamp standards have been in use since 1930 and are now sufficiently close to the end of their operational usefulness that they will need to be replaced very soon. We do of course understand that a number of local residents like them and that they wish to retain their traditional appearance, but when the street lights are close to conking out permanent retention is no longer an option. We therefore ask local residents whether they would prefer the existing lamp standards to be replaced with new, traditional-style lamps such as those in Allderidge Avenue or with something more modern.
