Andrew Barr has let it be known that at 9am this morning the first light tower is going up at Manuka Oval.

Not before time … PM’s XI is all of six weeks away.

No they had to do some serious concrete foundations for the lights. There was a preference for retractable lighting, but for the cost and the timeframe its not possible. Of course i’m sure the Manuka Residents association or similar will complain.
