Petition for additional Street Lighting at Holly Tree Croft, Dunnington. This report follows on from a petition which was presented by Cllr Brooks on behalf of Dunnington residents. The petition asks for an extra street light to be placed in the snicket located at the bottom of Holly Tree Croft. Additional documents: Decision: RESOLVED: (i) That the Cabinet Member chose Option 2 to leave the snicket as it is.
(ii) That the Cabinet Member instructs officers to work with the Parish Council to design a scheme that addresses accessibility concerns, should the Parish wish to fund such a scheme.

(ii) To provide the street light without presenting an obstruction if the Parish Council considers it a local priority.
Minutes: The Cabinet member considered a report which informed him of a petition presented by Cllr Brooks on behalf of Dunnington residents. The petition asked for an extra street light to be placed in the snicket located at the bottom of Holly Tree Croft.
