AN ECO-FRIENDLY revamp has seen a
Kenilworth street become one of the first in the country to be fitted
with new high-tech street lighting.
Henry Street was bathed in high
quality white light over the new year after the latest £10,000
Cosmopolis street lanterns replaced 40-year-old sodium street lamps.
The move will cut CO2 emissions by 800kg a year.
Councillor
John Whitehouse, who secured funding from Warwickshire County Council
for the scheme, said he was delighted the new lighting was being
pioneered in Kenilworth.
He
said: “Henry Street residents have had to put up with very poor
lighting for a long time, so it’s great that their street was chosen
for the first installation of this new technology in Warwickshire.
“The Cosmopolis street lanterns look elegant and emit a good even spread of light, while costing less to run.”
