Went down to county hall today and was surprised to find most of the streetlights in the county hall car park blazing away in the middle of the day, including every single one in the Councillors car park. Certainly no dim view for councillors there then? Fingers crossed that next weekend all the lights will have gone out on Labour in County Durham.

If you spot a streetlight on anywhere in the county, just email Hal@durham.gov.uk with the streetlight number and location.

I suppose I should report the lights at county hall just in case no-one else noticed them.

I think I’ll try and find out how much we are spending on electricity for street-lighting too.
