Streetlighting Replacement Update

We are pleased to confirm that the replacement of Sheringham Town Council’s 131 owned streetlights is in the final phases.  Contractors over the course of the next few weeks will be finalising the connection and removal of the lampposts across Sheringham.  They will also be replacing the lanterns with low energy led models.

Once completed the Town will benefit from the savings made as there is a significant saving on energy costs, the savings made will be invested in other projects for the benefit of Sheringham and its residents.

If you would like to find out more or have any suggestions, please come to the Annual Town meeting, 6pm, 14^th March – Sheringham Community Centre.
