Lighting Up Conisbro’
A great many people are disgusted at the idea that we have again to pass through these dark winter months without the place being lighted up.
To my mind, the opposition seems to be both ridiculous and undoubtedly selfish.
To have to lay mains for miles for the sake of a very few houses’, and because this is not done Conisbro’ with its growing population is left in darkness.
