Islington gets 6,000 new street lights
More than 6,000 lamp posts in Islington have been replaced over the past five years as part of our promise to revamp of street lighting. Through a Public Lighting PFI Project an extra 1,360 lamp posts across the borough and replaced 1,240 traffic signposts and belisha beacons.
Together with partners Southern Electric Contracting (SEC) the council has relit 105 miles of roads and responded to over 28,000 work requests.Whislt the big replacement programme is coming to an end there will still be more replacement and maintenance work going on - so if you have a faulty light do let us know. But at the end of 5 years nearly every road in Highbury East has had new lamps, including hundreds of heritage lamps for our conservation areas.
Cllr Terry Stacy, said, “Out streets are now safer and more attractive but it does not stop here - our investment in improved lighting is assured for the next 2 decades.”
