Do your streetlights switch off at midnight?

[King Gizzard]

Ours do, and it's quite scary

Something to do with the council being tight bastards

Someone will fall over or get mugged and sue, then they will put them back on again...

[reece(:]

No:shocked:

[Marsh.]

That's a bit dangerous.

There'll be a curfew next.

[King Gizzard]

On the one hand it's good for criminals but on the other hand they have no clue where they're going so it's pointless

Also when the moon's out it provides a nice blueish-light and it's really cool

[Josy]

No it would be pitch black because we are surrounded by fields and woods.

[Shaun]

they do :(

[Jords]

Dont have any on my road, but the street that branches off dont turn off at 12 I dont believe.

[Benjamin]

How random, I nearly made a thread asking this earlier. :laugh:

[MTVN]

Yes, but then the biggest scandal that has happened around here in the last ten years was when the local tramp nicked the school milk so they aren't that necessary

[AnnieK]

No....but I wish they did. There is one opposite my bedroom window which blinds me so I have to thick Curtis and keep them shut even when it's roasting so the windows open does bugger all.....

Think I'll write to the council and ask them to switch them off.

[Marc]

I don't know. I will make a conscious effort to stay by my window and watch for them to turn off

No it is not
Councils need to save money.


Make sure if you are out - you have a torch

[Lee.]

[MTVN]

Can tell this is an issue you are very passionate about Arista

[arista]

Yes we must Cut Utter Waste

[Kate!]

Ours go off around 4 - 5 in the morning in autumn and winter, they are on less in spring and summer months.

[Marsh.]

No it is not

Don't talk ****e.

[arista]

Don't talk ****e.



You need to Get Up To Date
after 12 midnight its wasted energy
Money has to be saved
or roads will get worse

[King Gizzard]

wouldn't really be a waste of energy or money if during the day they all had solar panels on the top of them

[Livia]

I don't have streetlights where I live. Once the sun goes down it's just dark... I like it. And despite being a townie, I've managed not to wander into, or fall over anything. The best thing about having no street lights is that I get an amazing view of the stars.

They can not afford to Refit them all.

yes most romantic

[Tom4784]

I'm pretty sure ours stay on all night but then I live on a main road so it's not surprising I guess.

[King Gizzard]

the main roads still stay on here too just all the side roads and house roads

[arista]

Yes all side roads must be Turned Off after midnight
to stop Utter Waste of Energy

[sooty]

I have never noticed. I will have a look it tonight.

(My friend often tells me I would never be a witness in court.)

[Kizzy]

Yes, but then the biggest scandal that has happened around here in the last ten years was when the local tramp nicked the school milk so they aren't that necessary

Where do you live Trumpton? :laugh:

[billy123]

The ones where i live have light detectors on them. they come on when it goes dark and turn off when its light enough.

I think ours do, they were replaced about 3yrs ago.

[GypsyGoth]

Ours stay on through the night.

:laugh2: :love:

[Princess]

No, they stay on all night

I found we did not have lamp posts in my street (mews).

I have not got a chance to go out late at night yet (I recently moved in to this area.) so I can't be sure, but I saw lights from my upstairs bedroom, between trees - far away - like motorway cats eyes.

It means I think main streets' lights are still on after midnight.

[james130]

What the hell?!?

They better not do this near me. I don't think there's enough street lights as there is and I don't sometimes get in till 4/5 AM on a night. (I don't like the dark. :bawling:)
Plus what about poor girls doing the walk-of-shame?!?

[smudgie]

Ours stay on.

We have also had litter pickers 3 days in a row including Sunday...we must be getting some posh V.I.Ps coming into town.:hugesmile:

[Apple202]

thinking about it i don't think my town actually has streetlights

[Apple202]

oh wait yeah it does lol

[Mrluvaluva]

I had a look outside but I cannot tell. It's too dark.

[Black Dagger]

They are still on now like... no idea when they shut off though, I'm a heavy sleeper.
