Tenement lighting

Over the weekend, residents in Bellefield Avenue drew to my attention that the stair lighting in all the tenement flats on the east side of the street had failed. A similar situation arose some time ago on the west side of the street. The problem is that the stair lighting is linked together, so if a fuse blows in one tenement, all lighting on one side of the street blows.

I contacted the City Council's Environmental Health & Trading Standards Department straight away and was pleased to receive this update yesterday :

"Officers visited Bellefield Avenue this afternoon and found that a fuse had blown. They were able to repair this and the stairlighting is working again."

A very fast response and greatly appreciated by the residents.
