Government To Spend Money On Street Lighting

Saturday, 20. February 2010

The Government is finally starting to realise the importance of street lighting in fighting crime. The Transport minister, Sadiq Khan (Who? I thought it was Lord Adonis, oh no he’s Secretary of State for Transport, so who is Paul Clarke, ah he’s Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport, hang on that’s the same title that Chris Mole goes by – confused? No wonder they seem to get sod all done) has just announced £620 million funding to improve street lighting in 7 local authorities across England. Mr Khan called it a ‘vital investment’ to improve road safety. He might like to stick his hand into his pocket a little further and get the bloody potholes fixed whilst he’s at it but at least now we should be able to see them just before we write off our suspension!
