To the grandchildren to complete? The lighting project takes too long.....

In spite of all over the world to the Contractor before the project deadline will be upgraded to LED lighting, in order to avoid being fined, but a local government has taken a very relaxed attitude.

According to reports, the England central area of Shropshire Council in 2054 to complete the upgrade requirements.

Three years ago, Shropshire began to replace the more than 18000 lights, mainly high pressure sodium lamp, but the installation speed so slow means that these members of the grandchildren will see the last LED lights installed.

Responsible for local and Corporate Council director George Candler to local newspaper said, so far only installed 3169 LED lights. "450 to 500 parliamentary arrangements to replace the lamp, but the need for financial support, which means that at least 36 years to complete the replacement of LED."

The reason is the problem of capital. He told the media that the past four years, the City Council in installation, operation and maintenance of street lighting to spend money on a steady increase.

In the 2015/16 fiscal year, Parliament spent 1 million 640 thousand pounds (about 14 million 750 thousand yuan), the annual 2016/17 increase to 1 million 670 thousand pounds, 1 million 890 thousand pounds for the 2017/18 year, the new fiscal year budget is 1 million 990 thousand pounds.

Unfortunately, Shropshire said, when the work finished, it is not expected to save any street lighting budget costs, because any efficiency advantage will be installed more lamps required and the cost of this period is expected to offset the rising price. (Editor: LED James)
