𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻, 𝗪𝗮𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗮 I visited The Glade twice in recent weeks to understand proposed incremental upgrades, the most controversial of which was the post-consultation inclusion of LED field lighting.
Although I’m open to the possibility of lights at this site, I think such decisions should only be made after thorough consultation with residents on matters such as lighting technologies and design, light spill, time of use, and natural screening. Some would argue that such details could be agreed 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 adopting a Masterplan, but others would argue that it should be part of the process.
I was keen to debate the matter last night but some councillors requested a staff-guided site inspection, and I was happy to support this request. We’ll be debating the matter later in the year and I’m open to hearing your thoughts in the interim.
