It's not as presented being a government policy.
Plus the lights have been being dimmed and even switched off for years past in some areas.
It's not new.
I often drive on unlit roads, where there's not even any lights to switch on.
People shouldn't drive if they cannot drive in the dark.

Of course Councils need to save funds and should, however they've been hammered as to funding for the last 15 years.

As was asked however, where is any link that this IS this government's policy.
Can you supply that link then please since no one else seems able to?

Yes it is not Labour Policy Yet.

But Councils are doing it as tests

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.
