Dear Editor,
A few years ago the western section of the East Coast corridor was a very picturesque scene at night as all of the road lights were in working condition and there seemed to be a maintenance programme in place to replace any defective or damaged units.
Much comfort was derived from the installation of these lights, as security, road safety and night visibility were appreciated by the road users who plied this route. However over the last eighteen months there seems to have been total neglect of a maintenance schedule as there now seems to be as many non-working lights as operational ones.
I have not to date seen any evidence that suggests that the recent budget cuts have curtailed any such activity, so I am humbly appealing to the relevant authorities to have our lights restored.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Edwards
