"To ask the Chief Executive to report if an inspection of the area between Cherbury Park and Esker Lane (bridge crossing the N4) has taken place to access the need for further public lighting and if so the results of the inspection?"

A full inspection was carried out by the Public Lighting Section at this location last month. The results of this and further inspections are as follows. A map is attached for reference. 

• St. Finians Crescent:  Poles 5,6,7 and 8

 - Reported as Vandalised 19/01/2017– repaired on 19/01/2017

 - Return visit to above on 26/01/2017 after further vandalism to replace pole 8 and further repairs to poles 5,6 and 7. 

• Esker Glebe

    - Poles 1 and 2 on walk-way repaired on 19/01/2017

    - Return visit on 26/01/2017 to dig/reset poles and replace lamps again due to vandalism 

• Cherbury Park Avenue: Pole 7

    - Relocated pole on 07/02/2017. Works now complete. 

•  Cherbury Park Road : Poles 9 and 10

     - Replaced lamps 26/01/2017.

A lot of resources are being deployed here to counteract vandalism in the area and this is still ongoing.

The Public Lighting Section has requested that all Public Lighting points from Cherbury Park Road to St. Finians Crescent be replaced with LED fittings that are less prone to vandalism.

In addition, the Public Lighting Section recommends that lighting should be installed along the pathway on the open space between St. Finians and Esker Glebe. We will refer the matter to Public Realm for possible inclusion in their 2018 Works Programme.
