Lights alive! Street light scheme almost done

By March, 2585 traditional lamps will have been replaced with more efficient LED lanterns.

Since January, the total number of streetlights replaced as part of the programme has risen to over 1500.

The Transport for Bucks programme has stretched across the county and sees traditional sodium lamps replaced with modern LED lamps, which not only save energy, create lower carbon emissions and reduce maintenance costs, but are also made of materials with less environmental impact.

Next week the programme will visit the following locations:

Fenny Stratford Bypass, Great Brickhill – Continues 16 February – 09.30-15.30, Traffic lights

Bletchley Road, Whaddon – Continues 16 February – 10.00-14.00, Traffic lights
