I WOULD like to ask about the lighting (or lack of it) on the three principal bridges. Friends of mine staying in the city for a few days all agreed it was a wonderful place, except for the bridges.

On Skeldergate it was so dark it was unsafe at night. Looking upstream you could not see Ouse Bridge. Surely some floodlighting for a few hours at night would not be too much?
