Leading lights on North Lincolnshire Council say the authority is near to completing the switch over of all Brigg street lamps to LED bulbs.
This is revealed by Couns Rob Waltham, Nigel Sherwood and Carl Sherwood in the latest issue of the Brigg & Wolds Ward newsletter In Touch.
Coun Nigel says that 664 or 868 Brigg street lights have been installed to date, and points out that the new "lanterns" reduce energy consumption by between 50 per cent and 75 per cent when compared with the previous type of bulbs.
Conversion of lights is also continuing within the council's Brigg & Wolds Ward at Wrawby, Barnetby, Elsham and South Ferriby.
By the autumn, others will have gone in at Melton Ross, Worlaby, Bonby, Saxby-All-Saints and Horkstow.
We should perhaps make it clear to Brigg Blog followers that the In Touch newsletter is not a council publication. It is "paid for by local donations."
