We are facing into the second year of having no working street lighting on our row. I raised the issue with the residents committee earlier this year & they had mentioned that they were in contact with who I thought was the ESB to get this resolved. They had mentioned that it wasn't a fault it was just replacement bulbs which were needed.
Arrived home from work this evening when a knock came to the door. One of the neighbours was asking if I'd be interested in having a go at trying to communicate with Airtricity & the developer to get the issue resolved. Apparently there is an issue of unpaid fees between Airtricity & the developer & this is why they are not replacing bulbs. There are two rows affected, approx 25-30 houses in an estate of 150 or so & as I mentioned we are now facing into our second winter of this problem. The estate is approx 7 years old.
My neighbour had called on one of the committee members & she recommended that he try get someone else on board to try & communicate with both companies on the residents behalf, she suggested me!
I am somewhat annoyed with the residents committee as what's the point of having a committee if they ask everyone to sort their own problems? That aside this is something that I am willing to do. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience in a similar situation? If you could share your experience it would be great. I think the estate is still under the control of the developer & has not yet been taken over by the county/town council. Maybe local political representative needs to be contacted, after all I'm fully household charge & LPT charge compliant.
