A couple of days ago I heard that the people of Branksome Avenue in the ward had been living in a trench-ridden mire for three months. The light-replacement work commenced after Christmas had been finished save for one bulb, but nobody had bothered filling in the quite substantial holes left behind. As a result of this sparkling display of public service excellence, doing anything on the street like parking or walking was rendered fairly difficult.

But, there is now light at the end of the tunnel and, indeed, lights at the end of Branksome Avenue. I have been told that the reinstatement of the road will be completed today, and that the final street light will be installed on April 6th.

Great news! And all the street lights completed just in time for the Tories at the Town Hall to consider switching half of them off at night to save money.
