Please click on the link below for details of the council cabinet's recent decision to dim lights across the county following huge cuts to local government budgets by the Tory-led coalition government.
You will know from previous posts on this site that I have been in constant contact with council officers to ensure that street lighting is reinstated as soon as possible on the roads connecting Hesleden, High Hesleden and Blackhall following the theft of cables in these areas.
I know that the safety of motorists and pedestrians will be seriously compromised if lighting is not reinstated and I will maintain pressure on the relevant authorities to ensure that this is done.
