City Council to spend 4 million to change street lighting to LEDs

This is great news. There will be the initial outlay of 4 million but this will reap dividends long term with greatly reduced running costs. This will result in more funds going to libraries, and other Council funded amenities long term

And Eyre Square redevelopments and independent cinemas

I'm not adverse to the cost for the change, it's just odd that there isn't any clear numbers in the article or any indication like "we estimate to have recouped the cost in just over 3 years"

Haven't a lot of the lights already been upgraded to LED?

University Road, Newcastle, Salmon Weir Bridge Area, recently Bothar na dTreadbh....

yeah, they've been replacing them years bit by bit, this is just their PR folks earning their wages.. personally I like the white light, always found the sodium orange light discomforting
