From the Maitland mercury report:
Maitland councillor Bob Geoghegan wants people to come forward with ways to reuse the city’s 40 heritage-style street lamps.
The lamps were earmarked for replacement by modern overhead catenary lights under the council’s bold plan to redevelop central Maitland into a precinct to be known as The Levee.
“I have been contacted by a number of people who were originally concerned about the removal of the lights but are now picturing the lights in other locations where they would look good,” Cr Geoghegan said.
