Auldearn "lights out" going smoothly

Not too many complaints at all about the 50% lighting cut experiment in Auldearn. Sandy told the inaugural meeting of the new Auldearn Community Council tonight that if anyone had a problem and thought if any of the lights turned off were creating a hazard then all they had to do was just give him the light number and he’d e-mail it to the relevant department to get it changed. He even said that the light outside his house had been turned off.

Chair Roger Milton made a jocular comment comparing the situation with the lights in Auldearn and that in Nairn. Sandy mentioned “sensible heads” in a retort that wasn’t completely audible to this observer. “That’s a comment for the Nairnshire,” said the Chair, who was next to Sandy on the top table. The chair’s comment was received with good humour by many present at the meeting.

I say turn off the lights in Seabank Road first :) Since it never appears to hit that area, just everywhere else in Nairn.

Why have Cristmas lights on everywhere all night long and yet turn off street lights in a bid to save money.

The people on Seabank Road pay a lot more Council Tax than others in more common areas.

So as tax-payer your saying they pay more they should get more preference. Everyone should be treated the same, regardless as we all pay taxes. I actually live in Seabank Road in one of the larger houses.

And your point is?

The point is they pay more so they are going to complain more.... Quite right. Maybe we should all pay the same for council tax after all we all get the same mediocre service.
