£480,000 Initiative to Illuminate Essex Town's Streets Overnight

Basildon Council is poised to approve a plan to reinstate street lighting across the borough during nighttime hours, with a projected expenditure of approximately £480,000. The initiative, set for discussion on June 12, aims to address residents’ safety concerns following the previous decision to turn off street lights between midnight and 1 am—an unpopular measure that remains in effect since Essex County Council’s original cutback in 2014. The council’s proposal includes an annual cost of up to £120,000 for four years, supported by recent upgrades to energy-efficient LED lighting. Officials believe that reinstating nighttime lighting will enhance public safety and community well-being, aligning with their broader corporate plan for 2025-29, which emphasizes fostering a secure environment for residents.
