Knutton resident Chris Jamieson inspects his new security light in July 2005.
More than 200 homes in Cotswold Avenue were fitted with lights at the front and back to combat families’ fears that dark streets can be a magnet for crime. The lighting work was part of an investment of more than £100,000 in the area by RENEW North Staffordshire. Both Aspire Housing properties and privately-owned homes benefitted.
