QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive to liaise with the development company and other appropriate bodies to ensure proper public lighting at Sally Grove estate, and to make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

SDCC Public Lighting Section have been liaising with the developer, Victoria Homes, since late 2015 when the PL installation was first inspected by SDCC as part of the Taking In Charge process. A snag list was generated by our Inspector and submitted to the developer at this time. Most of these snags were eventually addressed by the developer as late as 2017.

However, there is one major outstanding civil works issue that has yet to be recitifed. The installation cannot be certified by SDCC for connection until this issue has been addressed in accordance with ETCI electrical regulations.

The developer is and has been historically aware of this. We are currently trying to progress the matter to a satisfactory conclusion with Victoria Homes. However, the responsibility for the connection of the PL at this location resides primarily with them.
