I attended the area council meeting and I don't think there was ever any danger of the lamp being moved. As mentioned the lamp is on LCC land. I believe I witnessed a clever bit of politics at the meeting. The Area Council wanted the lamp to stay where it is, repair it and make it more of a feature by trimming the tree etc. By suggesting it should be moved, all the residents at the meeting (loudly) opposed it. HBC can know contact LCC and inform them that the residents of Oswaldtwistle want the lamp repairing etc. I think the meeting just gave HBC more backing with which to approach LCC with.
