A man is paying £295 for the street lights in his village to be put back on for a few months. So how much does a street light cost to operate?
While many towns are twinkling happily in the glow of Christmas lights, one village in mid-Wales is simply grateful to have its street lights back on.
Powys council has accepted an offer from a resident of Llangynog to pay £295 for the lights in his village to be lit until the end of March. They were turned off in September as part of a county-wide drive to save money.
Mike Atherton paid just under £300 for 16 street lights - about £18.44 per light for December, January, February and March. That works out at about £4.61 per month or 15p a night. |
