Public lighting Pairceanna na Baile to be switched on in two weeks

Cllr Finola Armstrong-McGuire asked what was the delay in switching on public lighting in the new Local Authority housing estate of Pairceanna na Baile, Carrick-on-Shannon. "At the moment, it's dark by 5.30pm so it's a pity to have such darkness in a new estate and I look forward to seeing it lit and I know the residents do too."
The report by Economic Development advised her that the subcontractor responsible for the public lighting on the Pairceanna an Baile has to date not been able to register the connection on the online system for electricity connections. 
 
"LCC Housing section has been constantly engaging with the subcontractor and our own Public Lighting maintenance contractor to help the subcontractor get the issue resolved. It is hoped that the issue will be resolved in the next two weeks," the official response concluded. 

 
 
Cllr Armstrong-McGuire added that it was important that "people tell us about problems such as these and then we can try and do something about them."
