22nd September 2014 - email to Town Clerk
After nearly 4
years of being in breach of the planning conditions, the ex-Deputy TC got the
problems resolved in January 2014.
She also advised me
“I
have a new contractor that attended to the lights and is fully aware of the
importance of complying with the planning condition, I have instructed that the
lights next be adjusted on Monday 31st March following the clocks
moving forwards on Sunday 30th.”
The start of British Summer Time passed
without a problem
Since then the lights have been operating
within the agreed timings and not even on at the weekends, as they were
intended only for the use of school children as part of Safer Routes to
School.
On Thursday the
18th September 2014 the lights came on when it got dark and were on
all night until it got light on Friday morning.
On Friday the
19th September 2014 the lights came on when it got dark and
apparently went off sometime after midnight but before 1.30am, Saturday
morning.
On Saturday
morning, 20th September 2014, one light (the one in the trees by the
Holme Mead / Kitelands back gate was on early in the morning, (before 7.00am).
All the lights came on when it got dark in the evening and apparently went off
sometime after midnight but before 1.30am, Sunday morning.
On Sunday the 21st
September 2014 the lights came on when it got dark and apparently went off
sometime after midnight but before 1.30am, this morning.
They may have been
operating outside of the agreed timings prior to Thursday 18th
September 2014 and not brought to my attention.
I have not yet
reported this to CBC Planning Enforcement and I trust you will resolve this
issue by the end of this week.
