Notts CC on track to replace 34,300 lights with new energy saving LED (light-emitting diode) sources.
Nottingham City Council successfully bid for £7m from the Government’s Levelling Up fund, which will be used for this work. The ambitious programme began in July, starting with Sherwood and Clifton. LEDs will be installed ward by ward until completion in March 2024.
Over the last few months, the team have already replaced over 4,000 lights, which totals around 40 lights per day! The new LED streetlights:
Are more energy efficient – which will help support the goal to make Nottingham carbon-neutral by 2028
Save money – by reducing maintenance costs and using less electricity
Increase the colour rendering index (CRI), which will help improve visibility on the roads.
