Report on FixMyStreet
Enquirey regarding the reinstatement of street lighting columns presently redundant only with a third of the column remaining. These columns are situated on Pelaw Avenue, Shield Row. There are three such columns placed outside numbers 9 & 11 Pelaw Avenue and one which is sited on Pelaw Avenue on the corner of Newburn Road and King Edward the Vlll road adjacent to Shield Row Primary school and Shield Row Education Centre. Please could you inform myself the nature why the street lighting is redundant here as although this is a B road it is a busy thorough fare from and to the A1 corridor for heavy goods vehicles. In addition there are elderly residents bungalows situated on Pelaw Avenue and are finding it very disturbing the lack of street lighting here. My request is to have these street light and columns either replaced or infact reinstated. I also would like to understand why the lighting columns were removed and only the stand with electric left. One elderly resident is finding it difficult to sleep at night as she has a fear of the dark and has relied on the street lamp to shine into her bedroom window. It sounds very unusual as public rarely like the light shining into the property. However on this occasion the resident at 44 Hilllside Gardens has made it know to neighbours her fear. I await your reply in anticipation the lighting columns will be reinstated. Alderman Anne Taylor., 1st November
I have previously summarised the problem and identified the placement or lack of placement of street columns partially removed on a busy B road with heavy goods traffic feeding from the A1 corridor. The lack of these columns are causing safety issues as elderly residents are residing in the bungalows on Pelaw Avenue, Hillside Gardens. Additionally there is Shield Row Primary School and the Education Centre situated here. As the nights are drawing in very quickly I believe it is paramount to reinstate lighting columns on this busy road. I would appreciate feed back and the reinstatement of 3 lighting columns.
