Cutts Road lighting

Cutts Road lightning.

“Our family made a special drive through Cutts Road after sunset.
What a transformation! It is shining bright as day.
Thanks to you for giving it such a facelift and making it happen.”

Cutts Road lightning.

“Our family made a special drive through Cutts Road after sunset.
What a transformation! It is shining bright as day.
Thanks to you for giving it such a facelift and making it happen.”
This was the message from a resident, who now lives in Rolleston.

About 12 months back, as the then resident of Cutts Road in Russley, he had written to me as their elected Community Board member,

“I would like to bring it to your attention that the street lighting on Cutts Road needs to be improved. For the breadth of the road, the current lighting is inadequate. The footpath and the street is dark, somewhat giving an unsafe feeling.”

Between these two messages lies some good work by the team from the City Council. They listened to the resident’s concern, visited the road themselves, and made a plan. This plan involved getting the right priority, and funding, to get the project approved.

The new lights are not only brighter, they are taller and closer to the center-line of the road – all helping to improve the visibility.

There are a few poles which still have the old light (as in early Aug). This is because the City Council and Orion (electricity provider) need to come to an agreement to allow these poles to be replaced before the lights on these few poles can be changed.

A good example of how residents can make a positive difference in their communities.

Have you noticed this change on Cutts Road? Please post in comments. Thanks

Looking for climate nerds interested in sharing data.

Dianne from Upper Riccarton

A friend is doing research on our climate and I'm wondering if anyone has any books or journals that would have temperature records in them that could be borrowed or discussed?
It's quite a niche request but here's hoping.
