CHANGES TO NIGHT-TIME STREETLIGHTING
Consultation Deadline: 30th September 2025
Wendover Parish Council plans to reduce night-time lighting in order to:

energy costs (from £5,000 to £6,000 a year after initial installation costs have been taken into account)*
REDUCE
adverse effects of light pollution on our health
RESTORE
nocturnal pollinators
PROTECT
local wildlife
​​REDUCE
carbon emissions
*These savings will be put towards improving priority issues in Wendover, including parking and road safety.
Does reducing night-time street lighting impact your safety?
NO.
Over half the local authorities in England and Wales have now adopted Partial Night-time Lighting.
Detailed evidence from 14 years of data across 62 local authorities in England and Wales has revealed that reducing streetlight lighting at night has no resultant increase in car collisions or crime.*
