Dear Councillors,
We have now completed the programme of 924 upgrades outlined for the first part of 2017 and as attached in our email to you of October 2016.
To summarise, across the county we have now completed :
- 638 upgrades in 2013/2014/2015
- 2, 868 upgrades in 2016
which is a total of 3,506 upgrades to date in the county under this programme. This translates into approximately 11% of our lighting stock.
This particular programme continues with upgrades planned in the following locations.
Note that the same criteria apply as used for our upgrades to date:
- Residential housing estates due to low cost of traffic management
- Estates that were built in the early 1990 or later
- Estates with low tree population/maturity to maximise on efficacy of the LED fittings
