"That this Committee, calls on the Manager to have repaired or replaced as appropriate the four lamposts directly outside Citywise on Fortunestown Way as agreed at a deputation on 26th/April/06, as the public lighting in this area is very poor and has an immediate negative impact on the safety of children, youths and parents using the facility and that it be noted that the previous report on this exact motion in October stating that two of the lamposts had been repaired was inacurate, thus this motion being re-submitted."
