Dear Sir,
After a number of weeks, and several letters of complaint, I have yet to see a response in the Newton News from our Council regarding the new and totally inadequate street lighting.
I once again appeal to them to resolve this matter or at least respond. As a home owner with CCTV, I have yet again a perfect example of this new lighting rendering my cameras virtually useless!
I invite the council and local police to come and see for themselves, if my word is not believed! As a fairly new resident of Newton Aycliffe I am shocked at the lack of response from our council having come from a very pro-active area.
It would be nice to know if anything is going to be done about the lights or are we stuck with them indefinitely?
I appreciate and applaud the council for their energy saving approach but when I am then left to floodlight the front of my house in order to protect my property it kind of defeats the purpose don’t you think?
Or is the council not bothered about that, as it is me picking up the bill and increasing my carbon footprint in the long run.
Ms A Jones
Aycliffe Resident
