As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Thomas introduced the Second Phase Capital Investment in the Street Lighting Infrastructure and Upgrade to Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lanterns report and explained that following the success of the initial programme to replace units, Welsh Government (WG) had indicated that further funding may be available to complete the project. 

If approved by WG further funding would result in all of the Council street lighting infrastructure operating entirely on energy efficient LED lanterns.  The second phase bid would be approximately £1.6m and this would allow the remaining 6,500 lights, which were not included in the initial project, to be replaced.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That Phase 2 Wales Funding Programme submission for Capital Funding to replace the remaining Street Lighting Lanterns with new and more energy efficient LED lighting units be approved; and

(b)       That, subject to funding being awarded by Welsh Government (WG), that a contract for the replacement LED lighting units be let under the All Wales Highways Lighting Framework to procure the lanterns.
