Switch off saves £2m

摘要

The highways department at Northamptonshire Council Council saved nearly £2m last year by switching off half of the street lights across the county. The council gave the figures in a Freedom of Information request submitted by the BBC. The Conservative-run council said it would have spent more than £4.9m on lighting this year but instead it spent £3m. The authority made the move to turn off half of its 66,000 lights as part of a plan to save £100m in four years.
