10. STREET LIGHTING (Appendix G) At the consultation meeting with Anstey Parish Council regarding the street lighting energy saving scheme we agreed to undertake a review of the part-night lighting scheme 1 year after its implementation. As the Street Lighting Efficiency Savings Project is drawing to a close and with the imminent roll-out of LED street lights across the county we would like to know if you have any observations to make regarding the part-night lighting of the street lights in your parish.
Both national and our own studies have shown the following: Crime – Studies carried out have shown no increase in crime during part-night operation. Road Traffic Collisions – There is no evidence to suggest an increase in RTC’s in Leicestershire.
