Looks like winter is taking a heavy toll on signs across the Island, including this one at the Stanley Bridge roundabout, photographed on March 9.

Solar lighting brackets are pricey, councillors learn

Resort Municipality of Cavendish councillors were taken aback at the cost of solar lighting brackets used in a prototype design on Graham's Lane, which were more expensive than they thought. Going green, apparently, has a cost.

Council received a quote from the supplier of $190 for the first 50 brackets, adding up to $9,500, plus tax.

"Twenty-six dollar lights and $190 brackets," said Mayor Matthew Jelley at the July 18 monthly meeting, adding that's about a fifth of what the municipality required. That works out to about $50,000 when all the brackets are installed.

There is a chance the cost could be reduced.

Council put the matter aside for future discussion, as more information becomes available.
