My local council has recenting installed a lot of new lights in the borough, all appear to have deflectors pushing the light down onto the road. I think this is the new standard for street lights, but of course will cost money to replace lights every where.

Also suugested that the traffic lights on the traffic islands should be switched off at night, don't know why they were installed in first place as caused more congestion.

If local councils are going to save money, perhaps a 50% cut in councillor allowances should be the first to be implemented.
