THE LIGHTS ARE GOING OUT ALL OVER CARROG

In a period when we are commemorating the lights coming back on all over Europe, as the Second World War ended, does it not seem supremely strange that we are seeing the lights going OUT all over Carrog. There are now four street lights out in the village, including the very important one standing its loan vigil over our ancient bridge (also under threat from an increase in weight allowance). Perhaps the County Council have decided that the threat of power shortages during this winter will be compensated for by failing to repair street lights, thereby reducing the load upon the electricity grid by a minuscule amount whilst increasing the inconvenience and potential danger to residents by a huge amount.

Numerous complaints have been lodged with Denbighshire County Council but to no avail. Strange that having lost, through retirement, our influential and respected County Councillor the concerns of Carrog now seem to be ignored. The article entitled ‘A Hard Act to Follow’ published on his retirement now seems remarkably prophetic.
