Lighting in Bryanston & Dorset Square

Lighting

As part of the Council’s annual Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) programme for the coming financial year 2019/20, your Councillors have successfully lobbied for street lighting to be upgraded at the following locations.
 
George Street - conversion of existing functional lanterns to LEDs 
Harcourt Street - replacement of existing age expired with new LED standard units 
Wythburn Place - upgrade existing equipment with LED conversions and installation of two wall mounted units 
 
On Bryanston Place there has been an upgrade of existing equipment with LEDs and two lamp posts have been moved. Bryanston Square has been part of a City-wide LED pilot scheme where existing age expired equipment have been replaced with new LEDs. 
 
The image above aims to show two different types of street lighting. The one on the right shows the old-style sodium light which gives a wider angle of lower intensity light. The left shows the more directional intense light produced by the LEDs.

Labour-run Council belatedly tries to distance itself from the Labour Government’s proposed planning reforms

Westminster Conservatives are delighted that the current Labour council has finally publicly agreed with the Conservative councillors’ position on Angela Rayner’s proposed planning reforms. This Labour Government has proposed completely removing local councillors from the decision-making process on almost all applications. Westminster Conservatives pointed out that this is undemocratic and could undermine public trust in planning decisions back in March.
