COUNTY COUNCILLORS in Clare could up climbing ladders themselves to fix public lighting.
Politicians may be familiar with having their faces adorning poles when it comes to election time but some councillors in Clare have hinted that they may be climbing ladders for another matters.
Concerns on the pace of fixing public lighting across the county has been regularly flagged by elected members and with the evenings getting shorter, some councillors have said they may be reaching for the ladders themselves to tackle the matter.
Cllr Bill Slattery (FG) told last Monday’s meeting of the West Clare Municipal District that nothing has been done since the Chief Executive of the Council, Pat Dowling said he would look into the matter a fortnight ago. “Some people are suggesting that they might get a ladder themselves and go check,” the Lahinch man commented.
Acting senior executive officer in the West Clare MD, John Corry said the matter of public lighting will be on the agenda for a briefing with councillors on October 8th.
