The street lights on North Road are to be replaced with new energy efficient LED lights to match those of Bathwick and Widcombe Hills.

The existing yellow sodium lights have reached the end of their life, so will be replaced with clear white lights. The new lamps shine a brighter light onto the road and pavement, which is easier to see by, while reducing light pollution. There will be slightly more lamps, spaced closer together, as the columns are shorter than at present.

Liberal Democrat led BathNES Council has won awards for their energy efficiency projects, including the street light replacement project, which save both carbon emissions and taxpayers money.
