“Residents affected have expressed fear and anxiety because of the darkened and shadowed environment which is the outcome of the new street lighting.”
“I appreciate the decision for the new lighting scheme was made by the previous DRD Minister. But I am now calling on Minister Michelle McIlveen to call an immediate halt to this scheme, to address the concerns of constituents.”
