New LED lights
The council has replaced all standard sodium street lights on the public highway with new LED lights.
How are they different?
- The LED light source is highly efficient, environmentally friendly and reduces energy consumption.
- They look a bit different to the old lights, but the level of light is no different
- These lights are more directional, which means they will light up roads and footways with less backlight shining toward nearby properties and front gardens.
