Knowsley Council has teamed up with Tay Valley Lighting (TVL) to carry out a multi-million pound revamp of the borough’s street lighting assets.
Work will begin in August 2011 to replace street lights in Prescot West.
Representatives from TVL and Knowsley Council will be available on Tuesday, 28 June to inform the local community about improvements in their area, listen to their views and answer any questions they may have.
The event will commence at 5.30 pm with a presentation outlining the scheme, timescales and the benefits. This will last approximately 15 minutes, and then residents will have the opportunity to ask questions until the event closes at 6.30 pm.
The event will be held at Knowsley Village Hall on School Lane (side entrance).
The new lighting will be state of the art and will include the ability to vary the level of lighting and reduce CO² emissions across the borough. Decisions on the levels of lighting will be taken on the basis of the needs of each area of the borough.
More intense light levels on some roads could assist in the reduction of crime and night-time traffic accidents, and will also make CCTV images clearer, improve visibility, and help to ensure that pedestrians, cyclists and drivers feel safer.
