And we built the Tesco's for that reason. :twisted:

Well this could be improving for me :D

QuoteTunbridge Wells is the first district in Kent to have its street lights in selected areas switched off between midnight and 5.30am. 75% of those who responded to KCC's recent consultation on the proposed hours of switch off and the exclusion criteria, supported the proposals. This will save around £1million per year on energy bills, help protect the environment and reduce light pollution.

For more information and to find out start dates for other districts visit www.kent.gov.uk/streetlights

Interestingly Orpington and Bromley don't appear to be on the map, aren't they part of KCC?

London should be floodlit, it's the only way the rif-raf can be kept in check and and mischief kept under control  :angel:

Either that or give the police proper authority to beat the crap out of the rif-raf   :twisted:
