Consultation on Wickwar street lights

In January, we reported that Wickwar Parish Council was in discussion with South Glos about switching off street lights in the early hours.

Howard Gawler and members of Wickwar Parish Council together with the Police, have met with South Glos Street Lighting Team to further discuss the possible introduction of the switch off of streetlights in Wickwar after midnight to cut energy bills and carbon emissions.

A plan has now been produced with input from the Police and Highway Engineers. The plan will be consulted on at the Wickwar Annual Parish Meeting on May 9th. Further details of the meeting may be obtained from Mrs.Trull, the Clerk to the Parish Council. If approved, the changeover would take about two weeks and be ready for the Autumn.
