Alice, which end are you at, the Perry Vale or Waldram? I have noticed that the Perry Vale end seems to be much more evenly distributed, and the lighting seems a little more effective.
The other end however with its one side, then the other approach seems a little more uneven. Due to the width of the road, the pavement on the side of the road without lights on remains almost unlit, then half way up it switches.

One thing that has amazed me is the distribution of light posts.
At the top of Church Rise at the junction of South Road, there are no less than 6 lights (most visible in pic below) 2 of which are no more than about 20ft apart.
However, to find the same count of streetlights on Church Rise you would have to travel the entire length of the road (either end to the top of the hill)

I dont understand how during a modern consultation, there can be such confusion about the layout and distribution of lights.
