HAVING observed the new ‘low cost’ street lighting, which is now been installed, I have to say it reminds me of the 1950s and 1960s when the streets were lit with gas lamps.

In fact, gas lamps gave a better light than these new LED lamps.

Surely, with today’s technology the powers that be could up with something better than this?

These new lamps will create more crime and antisocial behaviour than ever before.

Could someone have a look and see if there are any alternatives?
