Blyth
will be first to see new street lights as council plans to ‘light up the sky’
£25m LED street lighting project will
mean spotlight on Blyth
Labour councillor for Newsham and New Delaval Deidre Campbell
has welcomed the news that Blyth will be the first town to benefit from the new
£25m scheme to upgrade streetlights across Northumberland with new state of the
art LED lights.
The scheme will see 16,000 street lights replaced across the
county with new eco-friendly and fully controlled LED lantern units. The scheme
will see engineering giant Galliford Try Infrastructure roll out the new lights
over a 4 year period.
It has now emerged that Blyth will be the first town to see
the new lights and Labour Councillor for Newsham and New Delaval, Deidre Campbell
has welcomed the news.
She said
‘This new scheme is yet another example of how Labour are
investing to save across the county and it’s great news that Blyth will see the
fruits of that investment first. Using new technology and smarter ways of
working, we’ll see a saving to the taxpayer of over £200,000 per year when the
scheme is implemented’.
Councillor
Campbell has also reminded residents that if they’re having any problems with
the existing street lights in the area then they can contact the council’s
dedicated ‘online street light fault hotline’ which can be found at https://online.northumberland.gov.uk/citizenportal/form.aspx?form=564
She’s also keen to remind residents that they can report day
to day problems quickly and cheaply through the council’s website http://www.northumberland.gov.uk/
