Why are councils re-laying all the cables and replacing all the
streetlamp poles for no ****ing reason? All they needed to do
was to change the lamp on the top. What a waste of millions of
pounds of council taxes. The cables worked fine. The poles
were in perfect condition.

They are replacing the cables because LED lamps take less current
for a given light output, so it was necessary to reduce the size
of the supply cables.

Very funny. Mind you I'd not put it past a council employee to think that was necessary.
