Here in Devon we have had very little street lighting for a long time. Many villages never had it, or just one lamp post. If you are worried it is a good idea to put motion sensitive lights on your home/business & carry a good torch. Motion sensitive lights are good as they show you that there is someone there, though do you need to angle them to avoid cats. It is possible to get torches that are small & light & yet quite powerful now. I tend to carry one or two mini torches about my person when out or about so I have something in my pocket anyway & then if I know Im going to be out late I pick up one a bit bigger too. You get used to all the lights being switched off after midnight to be honest. You learn to keep your ears open & have your neighbours phone numbers & a mobile to hand, in case it seems there is something amiss. You get to see the stars too.
90% of people aren't out at 1-4AM! what a waste of power, making electrical bills go up, and more.. also i pay council tax and i say turn them off! or make them motion assisted! That's right, make streetlights go by motion! stop light pollution! make the street lights (solar+motioned)

It’s bloody disgusting, I wonder how it is within the wall of the old Haslar Hospital, where the mp lives!
Why could they just have had the heads changed and put LED LIGHTS,
Carbon emissions 🥴🥴🥴
They will not listen , got your vote!
WHY DO THEY PUT UP BRAND NEW LIGHTS IN ARE ROAD THE OLD ONE WE HAD LIKE 2009 ONES
Sometims they have to replace the column itself mate if the fitting doesn't fit or the column becomes damaged
