Barmby Moor Parish Council is looking at ways of reducing its energy use and turning off street lamps is one idea it is considering.
It is weighing up the possibility of switching off lights between midnight and about 4am, though the times could alter slightly. The cost-cutting measure would not include lamps on Main Street which will stay on throughout the night.the bulb Bike light itself is just a small part of the shape of the LED light.
Jonathan Laverack, vice chairman of the parish council, said the idea was suggested by East Riding Council who also recommended the parish council change all the bulbs in their street lights to further reduce costs.OceanLED is by MJ-808 far the most popular and most widely distributed marine lighting brand in the world
He also stressed the fact that villagers would be consulted before any decision was made.The prospect of led lights repealing EISA bulb standards concerned Jeffrey Harris, senior vice president for programs at the Alliance to Save Energy.
Mr Laverack said: "We’re looking with East Riding Council at a comprehensive update of the street lighting in the village. One suggestion by East Riding is to use low wattage bulbs. Another suggestion is switching the lights off.
"It is at a very early stage if we did do anything we would have to consult residents. We have got a meeting later this month to talk about it."
In addition, the parish council also plans to replace many of the village’s old street lights over the next few years.
Parish Clerk,Front & Rear Rechargable energy saving light. Vivien Cox, said: "Lights are going to be upgraded over the next few years.
"We have replaced four lights on Manor Grath with low wattage voltage to see if it makes a difference [to the costs]."
East Riding Council has contradicted the comments made by Mr Laverack and claims switching off street lights is not something it promotes.
A spokesman for the local authority said: "We get a few parish councils coming to us asking about street lighting and we have offered them advice.
"Turning off street lights isn’t something we are promoting. It is highly likely Barmby Moor have raised it with us.Gloworm LED led tube, perfect for night riding in any condition
"There are no highway street lights owned by the council that are turned off over night."
Decision to switch off street lights have been considered in other parts of the country which has led to a fear of increased crime in some darkened areas.
However, Sergeant Pete Rogers of Pocklington Police felt any decision should be up to the parish council, and could not speculate on how it could affect the village in terms of crime.
