Up to 75% of councils are dimming the lights

Only dimming? Round here whole swathes of them have been "unplugged",
some have even had their heads removed and most of the rest go off after
00:15 (or rather after 01:15 now the clocks have changed) leaving one
light per street in residential areas.


Perhaps they could send out heavily subsidised LED torches, one per
household, so that local residents can venture out in safety...

Vulnerable people don't venture out anyway, even with the street lights on.

Just fit a PIR flood at the front if you think its a problem, the the police
helicopter can watch the people go down the road by following the flood
lights.

I wish they would turn the street lights off around here save me having to
use a filter on the scope.
