You told us in 2006 you wanted better lighting on the streets of East Dulwich because you said it would make you feel safer and reduce crime.

So your local Lib Dem candidates made an election promise to modernise all East Dulwich ward street lighting.

We have made sure that 62 of East Dulwich’s 65 streets now have modernised street lighting. The final three will be modernised in the next 4 weeks with replacement lamp posts taking 8-12 weeks to complete.

Friern Road – ALL 34 street lights will be upgraded to Cosmo bright white light and 1 structurally unsound lamp post will be replaced. Total cost £21,222.88.

Crystal Palace Road – Of the 44 lamp posts, 25 lamp posts will be upgraded to Cosmo bright white light, 7 SOX lighting heads which produce a dim yellow light will be upgraded to SON which produce a strong white light with yellow tinge and the other existing SON street lights will be left in place. Total cost £18,802.39

Dunstans Road – 11 SOX producing dim yellow light will be upgraded to SON strong white light. Total cost £3,374.12

Barry Road – 4 structurally unsound lamp posts will be replaced and their SON lighting heads reused. Total cost £6,600.61.

We’re really pleased we’ve delivered this last remaining outstanding election pledge. We have delivered all our other 2006 election promises.

One last note of thanks for all the officers who over the years have made this all possible.
