Leicestershire Highways is upgrading the County Councils street lighting stock to LEDs, in order to make substantial savings in energy, carbon and maintenance costs. Leicestershire County Council will be carrying out over 68,000 street light replacements across the county and are programmed to complete all installations within the next 3 years.

The first low level installations were successfully carried out in Shepshed, as programmed in March this year, before a full roll-out of four installation teams started work in Loughborough, Hugglescote and Whitwick throughout April and into May. The project is progressing well and is on programme both in time and budget. 3. Details of the full construction programme for the project are being prepared in a suitable format to share with Members and residents and we anticipate this information will be available by the end of June. 4.
