Bridlington Alexandra Promenade: New Lighting Scheme Underway

Work is well underway to replace the tourist lighting along Alexandra Promenade in Bridlington. The lighting is being replaced following structural tests of the columns and the opportunity has been used to re-design the scheme, which includes new columns and a complete re-wiring of the underground cable system. The street lighting team, working with their colleagues in infrastructure and facilities, are replacing the 26 old twin-lantern columns with 24 new columns, which will improve the lighting for pedestrians and CCTV operations, reduce light pollution and, by using the latest technology, will reduce energy consumption by 70 per cent (5,640 watts) which fits in with the council’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Councillor Chris Matthews, cabinet portfolio holder for highways and emergency planning at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “This scheme will benefit both residents and visitors in Bridlington and is part of a much larger programme of works designed to save the council on energy consumption and help achieve our objective of a 34 per cent carbon reduction before 2020.” The first eight lighting columns are now working and the second phase of lighting should be operational in February.
