flag Oxfordshire County Council says its part-night street lighting plan won't save £400,000 annually as expected, with funding now relying on individual applicants.

flag Oxfordshire County Council has revised its projections, stating the previously expected £400,000 annual savings from a part-night street lighting scheme are no longer achievable. flag The plan, which faced public opposition including from the police and crime commissioner, will now be funded by individual applicants rather than the council, with savings dependent on uptake and timing. flag Environmental benefits like reduced light pollution and lower carbon emissions are possible but uncertain. flag A consultation showed 50.4% support versus 43.9% opposition. flag The council says this is the first time the funding model has been detailed, using a framework similar to its 20mph speed limit rollout.
