YPI floodlights

John Fareham and John Abbott are taking further steps to ensure that planning conditions related to the times when YPI floodlights can operate are adhered to. We continue to receive reports from local residents of the exact times – most of them beyond the hours permitted by the licensing conditions – when these floodlights are being switched off. Both of us are concerned, as well we might be, since we were given to understand some time ago that, as the result of the installation of new switching gear, compliance with planning restrictions on the use of these lights would henceforth be automatic. This would appear not to be the case and we have both therefore contacted the officers to ask that action be taken. They have replied to confirm that they have written to the YPI asking them in effect to behave themselves and that, if they do not receive a prompt reply to that effect, they will take enforcement action.
