Srteet lighting

Hi I take it you have not been on Camposol very long but will let others explain about street lights. My advice would be to get decent solar lights outside your property

Not sure what you mean by sorted. Many streets on C and D have never had working lights. This has been raised on numerous occasions with the Town Hall, without much success. We now have a councillor for Camposol, who is a member of the ruling PSOE party. Her email is silvanaeb@mazarron.es You may like to ask her, as your representative, what action the council are proposing.

In the meantime, some streets/poligono’s have installed their solar lighting.

Hope this helps

As if my magic, a long explanation issued by Silvana today.

WHY ? ? ? 

After many years of homeowners complaining about the lack of street lighting on the Camposol urbanisations public roads, Mazarrón Council has over the last 18 months commissioned numerous technical reports on the situation, the results were that some circuits were not up to spec and replacement parts were not available, some did not have contracts, some were working but not legal, but many circuits simply needed replacement equipment (bulbs, fuses etc) and in March/April of this year the Council contracted a company of electrical engineers to undertake a full service of the urbanisation, this started on D Sector moving on to C then B then A, then finished all street lighting that could be illuminated legally and with available parts were lit. 

 Within days, reports were registered by residents with Linea Verde of street lights not working on A Sector, the Council dispatched technicians who found that the problem was service points had been opened and cables were being cut and in a few cases lengths of cable stolen (photos posted on Camposol Fact Crusader, Local Council section), while the theft of cable is illegal it does happen, but the technicians could not understand why cables are being cut for the sake of it, repairs were carried out and lighting was restored where possible. 

In recent weeks reports have been received of street lighting failure on parts of C Sector, today (20th July) technicians were dispatched for the day and carried out a sweep of the area stocked with available replacement equipment, unfortunately this was of little use as what they found was that 8 to 10 service points situated around Calles Retama, Ibiscum and Buganvilla had been opened and cables deliberately severed and sabotaged, they are at a loss as to why this would happen and do not currently have the time or manpower to repair the damage. 

So, the question is after all the years of darkness who would want to deliberately sabotage the lighting infrastructure, if anyone sees anything suspicious or has information related to the damage, please phone 112 and report the incident, the sooner the culprits are caught the better, Mazarrón Council does not have the resources to continue repairing this hooliganism.

Perhaps it is the people that are doing all the burglaries on various sectors that are cutting the street light cables ??

Yes quite probably, no other reason unless your up to no good,unfortunately you only need an allen key to open the service access panel and gain entry to the wiring a situation i shall be addressing on the street light outside our property on  C which has only recently been repaired after being off for several years other measures include the baseball bat i have nearby for the unfortunate scumbag doing this.Simply have to be more proactive i am afraid, two neighbors have recently been burgled and dont intend to be the third!

Just to dispel the untruth quoted above!!!! some parts of D...(and I know for definite) have street lightning.....

Never said they didn't if you read what I said. "Many streets on C and D have never had working lights."  That is not an untruth!
