Street lights need time to adjust clocks

The county’s part-night street lights will keep unpredictable hours for the next few weeks as they adjust to the clocks changing this weekend.

There are round 42,000 streetlights across the county that are switched off between the hours of midnight and 6am.

Coun Richard Davies, Executive Member for Highways, said: “Over the next few weeks, you might notice that the part-night streetlights start to go off and come on at different times.

“Please be assured that this is not due to a technical fault. The street lights have sensors that monitor the number of daylight hours, which is how they set their internal clock.”
