In saying this, we understand that 'Council Officers and Councillors' may not have the eyes to see these changes. They might be looking at the bigger picture.
So Raza, a community member from Plumpton has provided a situation that is unusual but makes him worry of every day community health and safety.
You will notice that in Perrin Avenue, Plumpton, there is a public street light post that is leaning at more than a slight angle. I noticed in the picture, it is as straight as you can get it. The main issue here is so obvious. If by chance, this public light post was neglected for a longer period of time and it fell damaged/destroyed private cars and injured or caused death to any community member, how would the authorities feel.
I'd say it has been leaning for years. It makes you wonder if relevant authorities do audit checks on their public street lights, maybe last audit was passed by them!
We request Blacktown City Council to monitor and refer to relevant authorities, to attend to it as a major priority of possible high risk. Lives should not be placed on 'risk'.
We also thank Raza for bringing to our attention and look forward to know how quick this problem is resolved.
