Why
Thousands of streetlights are set to be upgraded across North Yorkshire.
The upgrade is to save about £300,000 in annual energy costs, help the environment and protect the dark skies.
North Yorkshire Council is set to replace about 4,500 streetlights with LED technology, as well as updating columns and brackets.
Much of the lighting due to be upgraded will be beyond repair in the next five years due to changes in EU legislation that have made numerous lamp types obsolete.
