Hertfordshire's Lights Out ... Again!
10 Apr 2014
Local Liberal Democrats are stunned that for the third year running street lights could still be thrown into chaos as the clocks were moved forward.
Leader of the Opposition on HCC, Liberal Democrat Stephen Giles-Medhurst said, " After almost three years of switching the lights off at midnight, we still cannot get assurance that the problem we have had every time the clocks change will not re-occur.
"Each year and time we are assured it will not be a problem. At least this time the Tories admitted in advance that there would be problems. But the questions I want answered are:
- 'Why on earth did they pay for faulty equipment to start with?'
- 'Was the night time turn-off rushed through with no checking of equipment or its capability?"
