Clocks and street lights
You've probably had enough reminders to put your clocks back an hour at 2 am on Sunday. But what will our street lights do? When will they go off? You may remember all the fuss when faulty photocells meant that street lights went off much too early for a couple of weeks.
Crews from the council’s StreetCare team have been replacing thousands of faulty photocells on
South Gloucestershire’s streetlights - they were still doing parts of South Yate today (24 October)
In
areas where the replacement photocells are being installed after 26
October, existing street lights will continue
to switch off an hour earlier than intended, at approximately 1045pm.
This is expected to begin on 20 October and will last for about two
weeks, before units come back into line with GMT or are replaced as part
of the ongoing works.
As well as resolving the hour change issue the replacement units have also been adjusted to operate to the council’s
revised part-night lighting regime of 1am to 5am, providing an extra hour of light each night.
