I recently wrote to the Echo urging the Council to bid for Coastal Revival Funding to improve the pedestrian lighting on the esplanade. This resulted in favourable internet comments and a letter of support in subsequent editions of the Echo. Others who saw my letter have also said they support my request.

I have asked my chosen candidate for the forthcoming elections to the Council to raise this matter as a Councillor if elected, and ask that an application for funding be made. The candidate has agreed and will have my vote. I ask that all those that would like to see our esplanade once again properly lit ask their candidates the same question.

I have written to the Council on this matter ,but have not received a reply. If a decision is needed to go ahead with preparing a bid I would think Chairman's Action is the way forward.
