I believe the street lights in my road should be traditionally styled, but I’m told only modern units will be used – is there nothing that can be?
Because the project had to be affordable to the council, and central government would not contribute to enhancements of the existing stock, only a like-for-like replacement program could be considered. Southern Electric Contracting consult with local councils and interest groups long before the construction program starts, if one of these groups wishes heritage units to be used instead of the standard units then this can be accommodated but only if the additional cost is met by that group. If construction is about to begin, with standard units specified, then your local council has already decided that heritage units are either not essential or are unaffordable.
