Street-Lighting Intermittency Pilot Study
Targeting Working Infrastructure Towards Sustainability is a Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) set up to review current infrastructure provision in collaboration with consumer/provider stake-holders in order to assess how more sustainable greener strategies incorporating critical efficiency savings impact on local communities. As part of this review, a pilot street lighting intermittency program will be introduced in parts of East Cambridgeshire with particular emphasis on regions where high-energy consuming lighting appropriate in heavy-traffic motorway conditions has been employed in less critical residential areas. The pilot will commence from the 31st of this month and in the initial phase will maintain current hours of illumination but in which 50% energy savings will be introduced by an intermittency program limiting illumination to half-second periods, the remaining time the lights to be switched off Details of areas to be affected can be found on our website. We fully anticipate that this strategy which combines residential needs for adequate street illumination encompassing all the hours of darkness and greener energy-savings will meet current expectations.
