35,000 street lights to be turned OFF in Cornwall

Around 35,000 street lights will be switched off – more than half of Cornwall’s entire street lighting – within the next few months. The news comes as the cost of lighting the Duchy at night is set to increase by over £1 million a year.

In a bid to save money as well as reduce emissions, 670 lights are already being switched off between the hours of midnight and 5am.

Our panel on Breakfast discuss the pros and cons of the move.
