Street Lighting – new light on the matter

A call to improve London’s lighting at night

Anyone who has wandered around at night can’t help but notice the contrast between an effective, but decoratively lit heritage area and generic suburbs with streetlamps flooding streets in a sickly orange haze.

As Ian Visits points out, Harringay Council just announced plans to replace 18,600 streetlights.

First impressions – after a brief look at other pages, I went straight to the Area Index. My quick observations:

Islington – map p76 – shows growth areas and our Town Centre – no projects in the borough are listed
interestingly they don’t identify Andover’s masterplan
Haringey – map p61 – doesn’t identify our Town Centre or the Park as Metropolitan Open Land (as I far as I could determine)
Hackey – map p55 – doesn’t include our Town Centre – includes King’s Crescent Estate as a project.
