Enlightening initiative...
- European city wants to become greener, safer and more prosperous
- New low-energy street lighting identified as key, resulting in three-year replacement programme
Swansea Council's 28 000 street lights were consuming high levels of energy so it was decided at one point to rationalise their use; 2 100 were turned off to save energy and a further 800 removed for safety reasons. But a more strategic decision was to invest in new low-energy lighting all round.
