No streetlights after midnight????!

southcoastrgi

some of this isn't down to cost savings (although it does of course come into it) it is down to light polution & people complaining of being kept awake, there is a dual caraigeway in salisbury that switches the street lights off at midnite & back on at 6 due to flats being nearby

indeed and one of the reasons I moved back to the countryside to get away from street lights!

It seems remarkable that in the absense of lighting a phone with a pathetic light is used to see the route when a cheap torch would do the job. I guess common sense isn't as common as perhaps first thought :rotfl:


of course I'm just kidding and poking fun.... so no offence intended!

Phone the Council and ask for an explanation, they might enlighten you.

I think all street lights should be switched off at midnight. By a torch and grow up

Street lights? What are they?

The majority of properties have no streetlights.

I like having no streetlights. You can see the stars.

The 1 million c/p Clubman Deluxe is Clulite's ultimate power package. It has a piercing spot beam and detachable head shining up to 1000m.

A very reasonable £120

Great for foxes!

Yes. Or even a small but bright torch. A nice AA battery torch from Fenix, Sunwayman, etc will suffice. You want ~150 lumens in my opinion. Buy rechargeable batteries, Sony Eneloop are as good as any if not better. 7DayShop are a cheap source (I have no connection with them except as a customer).

Surely, to have common sense - you have to be "common" - ie: a pleb :rotfl::rotfl:
