Mr Caiman reported on the location and number of the street lights between Sylvan and Sei wood roads, and drew attention to oue dangerous uniighted spot between Alexandra and Albert street. Mr Caiman was asked to prepare a comprehensive report for the next meeting for further submission to the Borough Council.
