Fairy lights are a pretty bright idea

A sparkle has been added to the night-time serenity at Brough Place in Daisy Hill.

Approximately 1,500 metres of LED light strings now adorn 3 trees in the small park adjacent to the Daisy Hill shopping centre on the corner of Daisy Hill Road and Cupania Street.

The lights, wrapped around the trunks and branches, are switched on around sunset and stay on to about 10 pm, after the shops have closed.

Division 3 Councillor Mindy Russell says the lights do more than just make the area look pretty.

‘Growing up in the area, I know a lot of local residents like to walk to the shops and the extra lights will make those trips safer and easier,’ Cr Russell says.

‘It also makes the picnic tables in Brough Place more inviting to enjoy local takeaway with family, friends and neighbours.’

The lights were funded from the Division 3 Local Infrastructure Program.

The works also include upgrading and replacing lighting in the trees on Chatswood Road, outside the Chatswood Central Shopping Centre.
