QUESTION NO.14

QUESTION: Councillor T. Costello

To ask the Manager for an update on the public lighting issues - outlining if there has been a decrease in lights out of order / wait times for repair and how many are out of order?

REPLY:

 The number of outages has decreased from 1,000 reported earlier in the year to 660. 

The longer daylight hours mean that the nightly burn time for the lamps is shorter and therefore less are currently failing. 

Unfortunately, the wait time for repair is still outside the normal contractual time of two calendar weeks due to the ongoing shortage of lamps.
