Streelights in Westfield are being replaced with LED lights to improve energy efficiency and making sure that light is going where it is needed at street level and not being wasted upwards into the sky. Nearly 5,000 streetlights are being replaced on this programme which was developed as part of the 2008 plans by the then Lib Dem led council to reduce Carbon Emissions.

There will be annual energy savings of over £214,000 each year which means that with borrowing costs being factored in means a saving of around £150,000 a year to council tax payers. There will be reduced ‘light pollution’ and better controls on the operation of the lights.

If there are any issues that have come out of the switch over then please get in touch with your Westfield Lib Dem Team.
