LEDs to replace high-power street lighting across the county

APPROVAL has been granted to replace high-power street lighting lamps with LEDs to reduce the cost of managing for the county council.

Hampshire County Council indicated that replacing around 9,400 high-power lamps will cost an estimated £3.556 million.

The approval is one of the measures included in Phase 1 of the SP25 Savings Programme, approved in October 2024, developed by the administration to address the budget deficit, which is expected to be at least £97.6 million for 2025/26.

The savings program revealed that Hampshire could reduce the costs associated with managing its street lighting network by £500,000.
