It takes a village

The village where it takes £8,000 (and three years) to change a lightbulb

Residents were celebrating today as work finally begun on replacing two lightbulbs, ending a three-year battle with a council who claim it will cost £8.000.

The Church Hall and the village green in picturesque Glemsford, near Sudbury, Suffolk, were plunged into darkness after two street lamps stopped working in 2007.

After inspecting the lights, workers from Suffolk County Council said they were unable to fix them due to a 'G39' health and safety issue.
