The people of Leeds have their chance to share their views on the most effective way to save money and energy on street lights, through a public consultation.
Leeds City Council is responsible for 92,000 streetlights which consume approximately £4m of electricity per year.
Since 2013, around 4,000 street lights (4 per cent of all) in Leeds have been set for part-night operation saving £136,000 per year in energy costs. Finding further ways to save money on street lights is part of a larger initiative to make savings due to what the council calls its “challenging current financial position.”
