For once Ossygobbin I don't think this one was PB's idea if you check, and HBC are in favour of it staying put and becoming more of a feature in situ. Now that makes sense for a change ......... which is scary.

Bit of a shock isn't it? Mind you, he did wait first to see which way the wind was blowing.

gayle thank you for the report on the lamp, one more favour....... theres another next week can you make it........lol

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.

would you not think that with modern technology they could make a lamp as it was back then,a bit more robust and vandle proof!

Still confused as to who actually wanted the lamp moved?

As if Neil said it was just a bit of clever politics for a change to add weigh to approaching LCC, hats off. About time a bit of gumption was shown.

Was it not the students of accrington college annexe (Ritz annexe) that made the lamp under the guidance of their teacher. As for repaing the lamp, if its on LCC land then any repair is down to LCC not HBC. But its the same old tale, a matter of budgets and priority.

I offered to put a new bulb in the lamp for them

Quite right there Park

My brother-in-law was one of the students that built the lamp, under the guidance of Frank Eland........at the annexe
