Decision details

The Portfolio Holder agreed to the proposed programme for lantern conversions and column replacements.

The Portfolio Holder agreed to finalise proposals for the capital programme to allow the remaining streetlighting in Bromley to be converted to LED to provide potential revenue budget savings as part of the transformation programme with the conversion programme costs repaid over 4 years. 

The Council’s vision for Bromley is that it remains a place where people choose to live and do business.  Modern, safe, reliable and efficient street lighting has an important part to play in realising this vision, particularly in terms of improving public perception of the street scene, enhancing community safety and security and promoting the accessibility of public transport and other local services during the hours of darkness. These align well with the policy priorities in Building a Better a Bromley.

The proposed decision was scrutinised by the Environment and Community Services PDS Committee on 1st September 2021 and the Committee supported the proposal.
