All around Pennine Way and Friday Street they have been replacing our street lights with a totally new 5ft longer post, with all the digging and concreting and re-wiring which that entails. Why did they not just stick on a 5ft extension to the current identical lamp-post? Three-quarters of the expenditure could have been saved. Mindless lunacy – just for a change. Come the revolution, brother! ANDY ADAMS Trossachs Close
