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

I can lend you 10p for the meter?

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

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

Perhaps the park drinkers have beat you to it, removed the cover and filled it with empties :D

You missed it mate. It was last night.

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.

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.;)

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

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.;)
