Hampshire's streetlights to be dimmed under council plans
 

Was Debated live on the
2nd Show Ch5HD Live.

[If approved, the time streetlights are
switched off overnight would be
extended and others would have
their brightness reduced by as
much as 80 per cent from April 2025.
Hampshire County Council said
the move would contribute towards addressing
the council’s overall anticipated
£132 million budget deficit from April 2025,
saving £500,000 each year.
It said that fear of crime could be heightened
in the darker streets,
but there is “no evidence” to suggest that
the changes would lead to a rise in actual crime.
The plans do not include Portsmouth whose lights
are controlled by the city council.]

Sadly Many Councils may also do this.
