Calls for views on ways to save money on Leeds street lighting

    The people of Leeds have their chance to share their views on the most effective way to save money and energy on street lights, through a public consultation.

    Leeds City Council is responsible for 92,000 streetlights which consume approximately £4m of electricity per year.

    Since 2013, around 4,000 street lights (4 per cent of all) in Leeds have been set for part-night operation saving £136,000 per year in energy costs. Finding further ways to save money on street lights is part of a larger initiative to make savings due to what the council calls its “challenging current financial position.”
