Its Electryfying!

Morley Town Centre to get a street electricity supply

I have welcomed the news that an electricity point is to be introduced on the pedestrianised section of Queen Street close to the junction on Peel Street. The finance for the supply was agreed at a recent Area Committee meeting and will mean concerts and street events will now have access to electricity which was previously provided by generators.

This is a good news story and will support the Town Centre to continue to be vibrant. When we have street events, such as the Christmas Light Up event or Street Concerts, we suffer from not having an electricity supply to use. This means bringing in noisy generators. This grant from Area Committee will allow us to support the Town Centre better.

The grant of £2500 will provide a lockable street pillar which can be accessed when events are being held. A similar supply already exists in other local towns.

The need for an electricity supply for concerts and other events has been raised at the Town Centre Management Board on many occasions and this partnership approach with Area committee allows us all to support the Town Centre.
