Mid Suffolk District Council has commenced a Community Governance Review in all parts of the District. The purpose of the review is to enable the Council to consider what changes are needed to parish arrangements.
Some of the standard streetlights maintained by Suffolk County Council in our area are set to be upgraded to more efficient and environmentally-friendly LED lanterns as part of a project being delivered during 2021/22.
Work in Laxfield is set to start within the next month. Black and yellow ‘Work Starts Here’ signs will appear on specific streets shortly before upgrades take place in that location. Please note that SCC will not be replacing all streetlighting lanterns, as some have already had LED units fitted and some areas will be upgraded separately as part of dedicated improvement schemes.
These upgrade works are generally progressing from west to east across the county between September 2021 and autumn 2022 (by which time around 43,000 of Suffolk’s streetlights will have been upgraded as part of this programme). Please be assured that any current heritage lanterns have been identified to ensure that a similar lantern is installed and due to procurement timescales heritage works will take place towards the end of the programme in 2022.
