They informed the council since the fire <br /> department no longer has a boom truck, they have no way to change the bulbs or do <br /> maintenance on the traffic lights. Suddenlink Communications has help some but they <br /> are not dependable. Mr. Coles said a used boom truck with a 55 foot lift would cost <br /> about $6,000.00.
