That is a question I asked of Cllr's Britcliffe & Walmsley, if there was a light being installed in the play area, could HBC not install other security lighting in the park

Oh just remembered the street lighting on park lane used to be in the park, along the bottom path.

100w SONT - 9600 Lumens
500w Halogen - 9500 Lumens

Again correct, but the 100w SONT is at the top of an 8 metre column.
I will scan the lux plot provided by Mr N Lodge of HBC, and post, the area he used to represent the play area was 20M square, the play area is in fact 25.5M x 15M

Has the light been installed yet, and switched on?

No the cams are very good thanks, and make great watching.

You only need to inform people if there's sound recording too.

I think you need to read the Police Newsletter, re the article CCTV and use of for viewing anything other than your own property

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?

That is about right for HBC am surprised at the RPNHW for not pushing a little harder, may be Cllr Walmsley has stopped going to the meetings as well

I heard that many Park Lane residents did not want the light. Are the Neighbourhood Watch for it or against it?

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"

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
