Street light project nearly finished

We’ve replaced more than 15,600 street lights and 8,480 of their columns across the Borough with new more reliable and energy efficient LED versions, and are now down to the last few hundred.

We’ve also been upgrading the lighting for traffic signs and subways, which we’ll complete next year.

LED lighting reduces energy consumption by up to 60 per cent and don’t need replacing as often. We’ve also installed a remote control and monitoring system into the new lighting so we can check on their health, and dim them later at night when there are fewer motorists.

This a joint project with Slough Borough Council and Reading Borough Council thanks to Department for Transport funding.
