MOTION NO.20

MOTION: Councillor A. Hayes

To request SDCC Public Realm and Public Lighting sections cooperate to install public lighting in the vicinity of the pathway connecting Woodfarm Acres Estate to Kennelsfort Road Upper outside the ESBN station.

REPORT:

The provision of public lighting along the path linking The Dingle to Kennelsfort Road Upper will be listed for consideration in the draft Public Realm Improvement Works Programme (IWP) for 2026.  The draft IWP will be presented for the attention of the Elected Members at the Area Committee meeting in January 2026.

The lane outside the ESBN station is not in charge and it is not possible to install public lighting at this location.  Nevertheless, there are already 4 lamp standards located beside this lane within the ESBN compound.  The maintenance and control of these lamp standards is the responsibility of ESBN.   Contact will be with ESBN to request that these be turned on during the hours of darkness as has been the case in the past.
