Comment: Why lighting is better
"Your questions obviously are worded towards street lighting which is without doubt
better. However, the lighting from lamppost to houses is much poorer, more places
for criminals to hide."
"You can see things better"
"You can see things and people more clearly"
"You can see much better by this new street lighting and feel safer."
"You can see better down the street"

"White/blueish light instead of yellow"
"When I look out of my window you can see things more clearly and it makes you
feel safer"
"We think it is a more natural light"
"We have a lamppost outside our house. The front bedroom used to be very bright,
but now the lighting has changed, the light is reduced. Much better"
"We can see the street clearly from our window. We do not go out at night either
walking or driving."
"We can see down the street and make out objects as before the light used to flicker
when it was on or didn't come on"
"Was a dull yellow previously, now a clear white light."
"Visibility seems sharper and crisper. New lighting seems to illuminate over a wider
area."
"Visibility of the street and objects such as cars and people are clearer this is good
by us as we are on the end next door to king Georges park and have had some
trouble in the past."

It's actually a pleasant glow."

path only which is sufficient."

provided us with reassurance as our driveway is not a black out area and we feel
safer as a result"

pedestrians. But we over look a smallish grassed area backed by bushed and we

road so the hedge is now dark/ a small point from only 6 houses. overall much
better"
"The new lighting seems brighter and cleaner than the old ones."

Why do you say the lighting is worse: comments

Comment: Why lighting is worse
"1599" "A lot more shadow"
"A young driver, who was being chased, reversed his vehicle into our car,
which was parked on to drive, causing severe damage and inconvenience.
He thought he had crashed into a tree and there is a street light outside our
"2061" house, proving that the lighting is inadequate"
"Area around house extremely dark. Ideal for house thieves and car
thieves as cannot be seen from street. Only light area is immediately under
street lamp. Very distracting when driving as light blinds when underneath
"339" it and then extremely dark else where. Terrible system."
"Areas directly under lighting and with slight coverage are good and give
some reassurance and security. However, overall have concerns for the
majority of area that has little or no light. That being health and safety and
"1074" security"
"Areas now have been plunged into darkness. Poor overall visibility - total
"1075" disaster."
"As a friend lives in the next close, when walking home at night, I feel a
"858" little nervous as lighting is not so good. Cant see my door lock."
"419" "As above, visibility worse"
"522" "As I've stated overleaf, allows opportunists to break the law and run"
"281" "Bad visibility"
"239" "Because in my opinion it is worse"
"Because its worse. I start early mornings and i find it terrible to walk and
"1393" drive."
"Because the colour is horrible - it makes your eyes ache and it looks like
"854" industrial unit lighting - bring back the orange lighting"
"Brightness and coverage are the main issues. More led's per light might
"1759" make all the difference to the overall lighting at night"
"719" "Cannot see so much as with the lights as before were more visible"
"Can't see objects, light forms one circle of light other areas very dark. It
"836" looks like car headlights when you are in your home"
"Car park front of house badly lit difficult to walk on pavement around
"673" building cannot see the bumps and dips"
"666" "Car park very dark, im old and can't see"
"974" "Casts more shadows, poor visibility at doorway"
"279" "Colour of light"
"Coverage is poor, very dark in some areas, much easier for a thief to
break into a car parked on the street now. Where there is light it is ok, it's
"766" just the coverage which is a big let down."
"Current lighting does not penetrate into all areas. lighting is very harsh.
"575" many areas unlit"
"Current lighting is worse as it only seems to light up a limited area, where
"451" as before it was much more."
"Dark shadows throughout street, cold characterless look to street, very
"529" sombre. Old street lights, warm bright look, safer feel to street in general."
9
"Difficult to see, both on and off the street. Feel insecure not being able to
"2067" see clearly onto the street from house."
"Disabled and find it hard to see to get to the home address with the view
"650" from the home to the road"
"1001" "Dislike colour of current lighting"
"Dislike it and feel very vulnerable at times, when driving. When changing
over from one lighting to another lighting it takes a while for your eyes to
"1798" adjust. Feel safer travelling in the old lighting"
"1099" "Don't feel safe, too dark by front of house and front door"
"253" "Don't like the eerie blue light"
"905" "Don't like the street lighting, the street looks very eery"
"Everything is better except when looking out of the ground floor window. It
is very dark and you cannot see who is walking about outside you have to
"361" go upstairs which is not acceptable"
"536" "everything is darker"
"Everywhere is dim and dark. Makes you worry you could be mugged in
"1674" the dark."
"Feel unsafe when out in dark - street lighting does not help - unable to see
any obstacles clearly. Poor lighting makes things easier for anyone looking
"1223" at attacking others."
"From the bedroom, it is not possible to tell what is going on across road
"188" unless private security lights are lit"
"1077" "Front of house is not lit at all. very dark, cannot see to put key in door lock"
"577" "Gloomy, cold, less effective. Overall lighting inferior to previous lighting."
"761" "Hazed and dark, almost creepy to walk in. Just like a horror film"
"I do not like the lights at all, i am 74 and my husbands 79. we do not feel
"1145" safe at all, as we did with the old lights."
"I have a light at the end of my front garden path and it does not light the
"1180" front of my house or drive like the old type did. It's rubbish."
"I have a street light directly outside my house and I find the new lighting
"229" makes my bedroom light up and did keep me awake at first"
"I have already contacted the council manager who was totally
disinterested in my comments and my safety. The last street lamp is
several metres from my house and visibility is poor. I feel my safety has
been compromised and regardless of my comments and situation this
"853" would happen anyway. So why bother with this survey"
"I live in a cul-de-sac and don't want to go out at night as the street lighting
"581" is now so poor. the new lights are not a patch on the old lights"
"1581" "I live in a cul-de-sac the lighting does not cover the off street parking area"
"I walk from my neighbour (3 doors away) some evenings and i do not feel
safe you cannot see your front door from road and so cannot see if anyone
"617" is lurking around"
"In between lights you cant see much as before you could see all the
footpath. Also from my front door, I can't see across the road from footpath
"1668" and when I look right, I can't see either"
"291" "In general lighting is quite creepy, same as post war years."
"It does not light up across the street and there are dark spots between
"1661" lights"
"It is a lot darker than the previous lighting and i do not like going out after
"1833" dark at all"

"It is very poor and makes me feel uneasy when coming home from work
especially by my house"

enough"

light it is like having a spotlight but only into your house, not all around"
"Its more like spot lights rather than a broader light and it looks cold and
uninviting."
"It's too dim, you can't see in the bushes/shrubs. Don't feel safe"
"Lanterns are uncomfortably bright yet the distribution of light at gorund
level is poor. Presumably this is an property of LED lighting. Given the
importance of reducing energy consumption this is tolerable."
"Light directly under the light is fine but has made everywhere else dark.
You don’t feel safe going outside your door in the dark. Anyone could be
hiding and you wouldn't know."
"Light outside our house has been replaced with a low power (14 LED) light
- we are now the darkest house on the estate"

"Lighting is very poor, will be getting a lamp light outside my wall as i
cannot see my pathway"
"Lighting not improvement on previous, cannot see houses opposite."
"Lighting was better before new lights. It is a lot darker in street, need torch
to find keyhole"
"Lights quite literally light the small area around them. Visibility is poor, you
cant see across car parks so this could lead to cars being damaged"
"Lights seem dimmer now"
"lights shine down under post, the light does not spread around the road
and gardens"
"Lights throw too many shadows"
"Lights too dim"
"Live at the end of the close, lighting doesn't reach quite this far"
"Looking up stairs onto your garden is very dark, the older lighting was
much better because you could see all your garden, now you can not
which makes it better for thieves."
"My eyesight is poor due to my age, I need bright lights"
"My home fronts a footpath not the road. Lighting on footpath is not
adequate. Front of property is much darker, having to install additional
lighting of my own to compensate for this."
"New light gives shafts of light that do not cover all of the area. Only shines
down where actual street lamp is placed. So very poor light overall of
street."
"New lighting doesn't give off any light except for faint light underneath. It's
very poor."

enough area and there are numerous dark spots ok if lights are outside
your house, ours is."
"New lighting is very dim, hardly gives off any light at all"
"New lighting makes my driveway and front door darker than they were
with the old lighting. Having said that, the new lighting provides adequate
coverage for a residential street as the old lighting was probably too bright."
"New lights are just not bright enough. Visibility is much poorer than before.
You just do not feel safe."
"New street lights do not light up anywhere on my front garden. Cannot see
door locks when trying to enter house. Cannot see anyone who is on

lampposts are very dim"

houses darker. This concerns me. Houses are not lit and remain dark."

"The light is very directional (down) ok for star gazers, house breakers and
car thieves."

house and see if there was anyone by the doors"
