In the middle of the city (Palmy) is a parkland colloquially known as The Square. It is largely green space with four other incursions, The Bus Station, The Car Park, The Clock and Memorial Towers and the Civic Centre. I have my thought on all but well recorded in past missives.
However what I want to raise is the blatant use of lighting. On average these lights are on 12 hours a day. Yes they look nice or good but are they really?
As seen in the attached images, the use of lighting is pervasive. The reason often used by officials is to create a safe place to walk at night during the dark hours. However the fact remains, this is not needed.
I'm not a mathematician but the use of electricity is erroneous AND the ratepayers pay for this luxury. With an energy crisis eminent I feel it is time the ratepayers lobbied the Council to have all these lights switched off, yes even the clock tower.
