Some streetlights are switched off part of the night
Some of our street lights are switched off for part of the night, usually between the hours of midnight and 5am. This will reduce light pollution and help meet the Council's ambition to become Carbon Neutral by 2030.
Streetlights that are turned off part of the night are shown as pink dots on the interactive map below. Before reporting a light not working overnight, please check on the map below to see if its in an area where lights should be off part of the night.
