I can see this being a useful way of cutting costs but only if care is taken over where it is done.What do you think?
This would be awesome!

Just imagine living in a place where it goes dark at night time. It would certainly improve our quality of life. The original justification for having so much light at night was crime prevention but security has improved a lot over the years. Apart from those damn flood lights that people install above their front door so when you walk past their house you get blasted with 900 quadrillion watts of scorching light. Idiots.

Who cares what MP's think. They do all they can to promote fear and distrust amongst we who have to pay their way. MP's should keep their mouths shut unless they have something useful to say. Idiots.

Who cares what Local Authorities think. They want as many lights as possible so they need more maintenance and 'investment' so that can justify taking as much of your cash as they can get away with. Also Idiots.

Darkness at night time. Who would have thought.
