Exeter street light switch off

Devon County Councillors have approved a plan to switch off some Exeter street lights at night.

A £1.7 million scheme to install remote monitoring technology has been given the go ahead.

It means that sensors will detect when pedestrian and vehicle numbers fall below a certain level, and will automatically switch lights off.

The scheme is expected to pay for itself after 6 or 7 years.
