Barrington Avenue street light replacement

John Fareham and John Abbott report that an order has been placed for replacement Barrington Avenue street lighting with KWL.

The officers have, at our request, now placed an order for the installation of new Barrington Avenue street lights to the value of £42,000.  This money has of course been waiting to be used for this purpose while we took the necessary steps to ensure that new lights were procured that would satisfy local residents’ clearly expressed preference for old-fashioned-looking lamp standards. Clearly lamp standards that have been here since 1930 are long overdue for replacement, but we might reasonably expect new lamps to offer better standards of lighting, and also to use less electricity while doing it. The work is expected to be completed by June of this year; when we have an accurate date for the commencement of the works we will of course let local residents know.
