Update on street lighting in the East Street area

The council has received further information from Northern Power Grid (NPG) to the effect that the street lighting faults in the East Street area of Blackhall Colliery, between Aspatria Avenue and Third Street, have now been corrected. 



This information appears to be corroborated by residents who have been in touch to confirm that the streets are now lit again.

Having asked the council to contact NPG to express its dismay at the unacceptable quality of works carried out in the village so far, the following holding response has been received:


**** **** has rang to confirm light number 616 has now been reconnected by NPG and is working again.


**** also wanted to let you know they have contacted NPG again to say how disappointed they are with the NPG schemes in Blackhall Colliery. They have also asked for further information with regards to timescales for when the new lights will be connected.

Updates on this issue will be published here as and when received from NPG.
