Here in Northamptonshire many many streetlights are switched off. In fact they no longer get switched on.
The government say it's not their instruction it's the decision of the Council as part of the cuts.
There's been plenty of protests and some lights have been put back into service due to safety issues or due to increased
crime and/or anti-social behaviour.
There was a meeting recently to switch off every alternate light
There are many councils all over the country who have turned to this policy.
On a happier note the majority of speed cameras are also turned off
