Valley to see the light


NEWS


The Valley is about to get a whole lot ‘lighter’. A partnership between Energex and the City Council should result in the Valley being much better lit –- and safer –- at night, according to local councillor David Hinchliffe (Central Ward).


“Already we have upgraded a number of lights around the Valley, but there will be a very noticeable improvement in the months ahead as the general lux or brightness of street lighting is improved,” he said.
“Lighting along with policing are probably the two most important issues affecting safety in the Valley. With the state already announcing more police, the news of increased lighting is to be applauded.”
