Copper theft has surged along bikeways, leaving pathways in darkness and posing risks to community safety. Ashridge Road Park, Darra and Spine Street, Sumner have been targeted a number of times with the copper typically being stolen within a week of installation.
We are working closely with Police and are also exploring innovative measures, including alternative materials and designs to deter theft. If you notice any pathways where the lights are not working, please contact my office, or if you notice any suspicious behaviour, please contact Policelink on 131 444.
