LED replacement programme continues

Work on the second phase of LED streetlight replacement continues next week (w/b October 20th).
During this phase Transport for Buckinghamshire expects to convert 2,585 traditional street lamps in 110 locations with more efficient LED lanterns before next March.
Modern LED (light emitting diode) lamps not only save energy, create lower carbon emissions and reduce maintenance costs, but are also made of materials with less environmental impact.
Last week TfB replaced 111 traditional lanterns with LEDs and next week the programme continues with visits to Oxford Road, Denham and the Linslade Western Bypass in Soulbury:
• 20-21 October: Linslade Western Bypass, Soulbury - 10.00-14.00 - using temporary traffic lights
• 20-24 October: Oxford Road, Denham - 09.30-15.30 - using temporary traffic lights.
These timings are the window of work that our contractor is permitted to use, so traffic restrictions will fall sometime within this.
The scheme is due for completion by Christmas. For further information, please visit www.buckscc.gov.uk/ledreplacement
