From Get West London

Street lights in Hounslow are to be turned off for longer at night to help the council save cash.

In a bid to save £117,000 from its annual highways contract to help make up for huge government grant cuts, the council will switch on the lights nine minutes later in the mornings and turn them off nine minutes earlier in the evenings.


The brightness level of the lights will also be reduced by a further 20% in addition to a 20% reduction agreed previously.

This will mean that between midnight and dawn the output level of the lights will be reduced to 50% of its original levels overall.

The council says reduced street lighting levels won't compromise public safety but will mean the council will not meet the standards and requirements set out in the code of practice for street lighting.
