I’ve been keeping up the pressure on the Council to improve the streetlighting on Stapleton Hall Road, after a pledge to install new lamposts has been delayed. As I mentioned in my previous post in July the Council promised to replace the inadequate streetlights, as a result of residents raising safety concerns. I was originally told this would happen in September, then October - and I’m still assured it will be very soon.
I’ve also been pressing the Council to recondition the old Victorian lampposts and to reuse them in suitable places. Apparently, they plan to try to reuse the ones from Stapleton Hall Road in Lordship Recreation Ground in the east of the borough.
It would be great if some of the old streetlights in Stroud Green could be saved and reused in the local area. But its also really important (especially now the clocks have gone back and its dark so early) that there is decent lighting so people feel safe walking home in the evening.
