GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR IMPROVED STREET LIGHTING

That this House expresses concern that a third of the UK's street lighting stock is outdated and poses a significant maintenance problem for local authorities; therefore welcomes the Transport Committee's report on Local Roads and Pathways and its recommendation that the Department for Transport should provide indicative allocations of funding for street lighting as part of any future local transport plan settlements; and supports the 'Better Lighting, Safer Citizens' campaign organised by the Associate Parliamentary Lighting Group in its request for the Government to set up a cross-departmental working group to consider the importance of street lighting, the present dereliction of the lighting stock, and to review how such lighting should be funded in the future.
