Concerns over dimming North East streetlights
Available for over a year
The dimming of streetlights overnight is to be reviewed by Gateshead Council after it received "legitimate concerns over safety" from residents. Gateshead Council dims its streetlights by 75% between midnight and 05:30 and turns off some lighting on main routes. It does so to reduce carbon emissions and save money. Helen Richardson reports.
