Barrington Avenue period street lights

John Fareham and John Abbott reaffirm their commitment to replacing the obsolete Barrington Avenue street lights with ones of appropriate period appearance.

At no point have we been interested in, or committed to, replacing Barrington Avenue street lights with anything other than new lamps of old-fashioned appearance. Indeed, we took considerable care last time we replaced street lights like Barrington Avenue’s to canvass the options thoroughly, look at all the available designs within the Council’s price range, and to buy, having conferred with local residents first, the ones we and they liked best.  Street lamps dating from 1930 or thereabouts are being replaced elsewhere and a reasonable chance exists of finding period-style street lamps which we might expect to find favour with local residents as an acceptable second best to keeping the same lamp standards indefinitely.
