If you want to stop the erection of a pair of lamp posts take your argument to the people and put it up on The Evening Times Letters page. Why not convince a councillor to take up your cause?
Oh and try and separate the individual from the office.

However as an individual I would not wish to have these lamplight's outside my house. But then again there is no way I will ever be elected by my peers to the lofty position of Lord Provost.
I guess it just depends on your point of view. It is funny how it is usually argued that we need to keep everything but when it comes to a couple of lights it is somehow different.

These Lamp lights are not museum exhibits they are part of a rich tradition that forms part of this city
