Three lightng modules controlling various intemal lighting 'scenes' were replaced during the year and a further module will be replaced in the new year. Currently, only 4 of the 17 Lutron path lights are working. Each lighting unit (rather than changing a bulb) has to be replaced. As a result. it was decided to instsll six lighting posts (independent of, and not affeth'ng the Lutron lights.ng system,) along the rnain path - it was felt that lighting posts would offer better proteth'on against footfall. water and mower damage. It should be noted that this work required a Faculty vthich was submitted in August 2023 but not received by the end of the year. A meeb'ng is planned for the new year to decide what action is to be tsken with regard to the faulty Lutron units. The safety lights in the bell tower failed and were replaced and tested.
