  • It turns out that after living in Cassini Drive for 5 years the street has still not been taken over by the council from the developer, I have had conformation that the developer has been contacted but the street lamp has still not been repaired. Anoying as I pay my tax's which part of pays for street lighting and this lamphas now been out for 2 months.

  • This issue has still not been resolved betwean the local council and the developers who left 3 years ago, all that is required is a new bulb how hard can it be.

  • Looks like no one is interested as according to the local council after 5 years the street is still owned by the builder Wimpey. The nights are starting to draw in now so it looks lie a very dark winter on my street Not happy but to be honest I am not surprised with this developer.
