Dunno. l was peering through the bushes tonight and couldn't see a thing, it's ages since they installed the power for it. Perhaps they're waiting for it too become less light and thus saving us all money?
You are correct in that statement, the Neighbourhood Watch were the ones who raised the funds for the light, so yes they were for the light, but they do not live facing the park and the play area, the residents facing the play area did not want the light or should I say 100w lamp on the top of an 8M column.In any event the planning permission was for a period of 12 months only............."to see if it worked"Neil said:

Oi, Squirel Nutkin!
We've been here before, thee and me. l know of three members of the Neighbourhood watch that live facing the playground who don't live on Park Lane.
The most vicious and personal attack came from someone on Park Lane who would have to stand on a chair in her window to even see the play area, so how the lights are going to ruin her [get a] life is a mystery to me?
From your new little tree on the edge of Blackburn hopefully the lights won't shine into your hollow, and if it does may even let you find your nuts more easily.
That light was one of the reasons I moved, my bay window was in direct line with the play area, some 80 metres away. The fielding lane houses are double that, with trees blocking the view of the play area.
Yes we have been there before, so we'll not start that one again

You had a tree with a bay window? Well b*gger me- how grand.
Poor little Rindy couldn't park outside Mum's last night, as the road is all dug up along with the new box that was installed a month or so ago.
Looks like illumination is imminent?
Perhaps it's going to be trimed to coincide with the turning on of Blackpool's illuminations, which l think is August Bank Holiday.
People might come from miles around to marvel at them, even park381 from his new abode on the Blackburn/Hyndburn border.

You may be right there Neil, but I think I would have noticed a green 8M column near the play area.Neil said:Are you sure is was not switched on. After all HBC did say it would not cause a problem for residents
Some of the residents are not bothered now due to the overgrown hedges along the park wall, seems like someone stole the hedge trimmers HBC's park worker used to use
Well, passed the park on Thursday afternoon..........guess what, the light is in position, but it don't look like an 8M column with an 100W lamp on the top, more like a flood light and a 4M column, but my eyes are not to good these days. Anyone any info, has it been "switched on" or are they waiting Cllr Walmsley or PB to do it.
