The darkest street in Yamba

Ed,

Orion Drive is the darkest street in Yamba, with no streetlight near the intersection of Yamba Road, or for at least 200 meters along Orion Drive. 

As there is considerable traffic for Oyster Cove, Newport, and Pelican Point this is very disturbing. A number of older residents use this road, and with more to come with the new development, it is very hard to see the turn in from both directions on Yamba Road and some lighting is seriously needed, as well as some in Orion Drive. At the moment it is the perfect place for unsociable behaviour as we found out last weekend with a car being set on fire not 50 meters from the intersection.
