Derbyshire Part Night Lighting.

[cotterless45]

Just picked up a Public Consultation questionnaire from the library. The questionnaire can also be completed online

Part night street lighting: Your council - Derbyshire County Council

Proposal is from midnight to 5am.

Might be an idea if you're living in the county to complete the form.

Imagine, actual darkness.

hooray !!!!

AT LAST

[MjrTom]

Hmm I wish our council would have this foresight

[cotterless45]

Yep, move to Derbyshire, the natives are friendly and the nights will be very very dark.

[MjrTom]

Its funny you should say that as we are moving back to the midlands in the next couple of years

[Dude]

yay... some sense at last. I voted, thanks for the link!

Just over the county border from us and still no sign of our council doing anything about the LP. What will it take for Cheshire East to catch on to the idea?

[kharga]

Use SK17 9PA to fill in the form if you dont live in Derbyshire!!

[kharga]

We asked the local council to block the light coming into our bedroom - what did they do? Paint the wrong end of the light!!!!!

Pity it only applies to the County council and not Derby City council.

I'm sure that the County Council , as part of it's Highways duties, is responsible for street lighting and not the local council(s). We see plenty "county boys" around.

Derby City Council recently signed a 25 year contract with Balfour Beatty to handle all street light service and maintenance within the city of Derby and the city council said they have no plans to reduce street lighting at night so it's not looking very hopeful.

Thanks for the heads up. Just completed the questionaire

[Kai]

Devon have been doing this for a while now ,

When they first turned off the lights in my village i nearly fell off the Patio it was so dark

[Pauly]

We've had it where I live in Sussex for years.

[JAllen]

Cheers for the link. I have filled in the questionaire giving them my view. Let's hope they actually go through with this.

More amazed by the fact your council consult you, ours in Shropshire just tell us what they are going to do and shrug off objections, even if they are voiced by every man, woman and child in the county. Luckily they are going to do the midnight to 5am thing too, though probably not in big towns.
