Norfolk council plans to turn off 1,000 street lights to save money, sparking safety concerns.

Norfolk County Council plans to turn off an additional 1,000 street lights to cut costs and reduce carbon emissions. This proposal, part of a £45 million budget cut, has sparked concerns from councillors that it could deter walking and cycling due to safety fears. The council aims to save £200,000 by switching off 132 lights in industrial areas, and a public consultation is open until December 16.
