MOTION NO.25

MOTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive to do an audit of the public lighting in Abbeywood and Abbeydale estates, especially at the entrance and the lack of coverage of parts of the estate given the unusually high levels of darkness in the estate compared to neighbouring estates.

REPORT:

 We have carried out an audit of the public lighting at the above locations. 

The lighting at the entrance into Abbeywood at Abbeywood Avenue is affected adversely by overgrowth of tree canopies and the lighting at the entrance into Abbeydale has the same issue. 

We have requested Public Realm to prioritise a pruning of the trees:

 - along Abbeywood Avenue to the junction with Abbeywood Way. 

- along Abbeydale Crescent to the junction with Abbeydale Gardens.
