Yes I noticed this.
Maybe they can phone home to let them know the bulb blew?

How far are they sending a signal and how much does it cost?

The logical thing for a council to do is wait til people report a
street light is out. If no one does then it's not needed.


Er, that may have been a joke.


No it does actually say it on one of the links - perhaps the Wirral
one

Night inspection of lights controlled by the central management system
would no longer be required, as faulty lights would be reported by the
computer.

Why not wait for complaints? I emailed my council when the light here went out, they replaced the bulb in 2 days.
