Re: Park lights ?
 

Shall I nip up tonight and turn it on? I have a key somewhere that opens lamp posts :D :D

Re: Park lights ?
 

I can lend you 10p for the meter?

Re: Park lights ?
 

I will meet you there at 9pm and we will have our own turn on party.

Re: Park lights ?
 

Wouldn't that be funny. We could take a picture of a turning on ceremony and send it to the papers. PB and Walmsley would wonder why they hadn't been invited. lol

Re: Park lights ?
 

Don't mention photograph, garinda will turn up for sure now.

You missed it mate. It was last night.

Re: Park lights ?
 

I will be at Mum's for tea tonight. I will stay until it goes dark then, to report if they are as bright as the people on Park Lane feared they would be.

I will look out of the window, and not loiter in the bushes though.

Re: Park lights ?
 

No 'they' mate, there is only one light. It is at the Fielding Lane end of the play area.

Re: Park lights ?
 

I was so busy trying to see 'the' light as I arrived at my Ma's, I hit the gate post and damaged my bumper:(

God it's hardly as big as Blackpool Tower, or bright enough to interfer with passing aircraft that may be tempted to land in the park because of it.

As I suspected, a lot of fuss about nothing, and hardly worth Park381 moving to another tree on the border with Blackburn because of the fear that the bright lights would interfere with his hibernation.;)

Re: Park lights ?
 

I don't know what you mean. I was waiting there and you stood me up!

Re: Park lights ?
 

Those are your thoughts my friend, not the thoughts of the residents that live facing it. Time will tell if the light has worked or not, if there is a reduction in problems with the youth after dark in the play area, then I will hold my paw up, the light will have worked, but if the youth stay on drinking and causing problems even later cause of the nice light play area, then I'll be the first to say " I told you so"
ps..........my tree on the border is great, wish I had moved years ago. :D

Re: Park lights ?
 

I'm afraid even I can only give my own 'thoughts'.

I have seen the light tonight, l even walked along Park Lane, and as was already mentioned, because the hedge is getting so high, the extra illumination didn't bring on so much as a migraine.

I'm happy to report at this early stage, the newly illuminated children's playground was vandal/teen drinker free.

I too am waiting for the time when I can say 'I told you so', and the playground remains safe for children, and not a darkened meeting place for drunken yobs, like it was when it was behind the Stop and Rest and hidden from view.

Your new abode maybe in for an influx of other moaning minnies, whose lives are blighted by this really unasssuming improvement to the park.;)
