Street lighting in Finsbury Park

I was delighted when they put the street lights in Finsbury Park so in the winter I could still cycle home through the park when it was dark. There were so many more cyclists and walkers and it felt safe.

Now when I cycle through from the South Gate up towards Endymion Rd exit there are lights up to the tennis courts then they go off and they don’t come on again until the cafe - leaving a fairly long stretch of pitch black. I asked on the council website for them to fix the lights. They said they had but the lights are still off. Does anybody know if this is a cost cutting exercise?

Thanks!

Bob, in the last hour, I walked around Finsbury Park in the dark.

I'm pleased to report that all-but-one of the many lamps are working. i.e. in a stretch several hundred metres long, between the Endymion Road entrance and the southern end.

These may have been fixed some days ago but in any event, it appears that Cllr. Zena Brabazon's chasing of the-powers-that-be has borne fruit, or in this case, light.

Thanks Zena.
