Following their story published earlier this month North Edinburgh Community News have announced that the Council have agreed to take action and improve the street lights in the north of the city
North Edinburgh Community News were inundated with emails and messages on social media about the poor lighting the new LED lights offer.
By the number of comments on the story it was clearly an issue that was affecting thousands of people all across the city.
Speaking today Councillor Lesley Hinds, Transport and Environment Convener, said: “We’ve been closely monitoring lighting levels in streets where we’ve had a number of complaints about the new LED lights not being bright enough.”
