So the answer is it's not IN FACT official policy then, I'll more take your word on that.
Whether it's yet or not yet or maybe never.

Councils can do tests, that's up to individual councils.
This was happening way back in 2014 at least anyhow..
It's NOT a new thing.

I still haven't seen any official link posted as to this however.
Presumably you haven't found a conclusive one either it seems.

You won't, as that will stop Ed's Plan.

You can find out the Future Plans
if you could have 5mins with Ed

government don't pay the electricity bills for all the public roads in the UK, it's local councils/residents that do that. I would imagine they have a ton of data on what areas need to be lit and those that don't across their council areas

Sometimes people have to drive In the dark, like for health emergency or sons and daughters neefing picked up from sticky situations...Its not all about can't drive in the dark, so shouldn't be driving.

No thank you, I don't want any minutes with Ed Miliband.

It's good though YOU seen to be privileged to know that it's a concrete plan of his.
Even without ANY OFFICIAL substantiation that you can show it IS what WILL be done.
Despite it virtually having been being done for over 10 years anyhow.

There's roads across the UK which have never EVER had any lighting on them.

Exactly correct
Nice to read a fair comment, thank you.

They tried it in 2009, then realised it was to dangerous after numerous crashes

I would like a breakdown of how the Road Fund License is spent. Paid for by the put-upon motorist, another tax to go alongside the 53 pence we pay in tax PER LITRE of fuel, then the 20% VAT we pay on the price of petrol at the pump after duty has been added. Then there's all the ULEZ and congestion charges, tolls on roads, tunnels and bridges, the cost of parking... I think the least we can expect is that we have some lights on motorways when it's dark.
