Well done Cumbria County Council, who I believe are responsible for the wonderful new streetlights on Burneside Road at Kendal.

These provide enough easy on the eye light, cause much less light pollution and I believe are far more economic and long lasting than the horrible orange ones.

Here is a tremendous cost saving in these austere times than can easily be carried out and all without the expense of consultants.

Let's hope all of Kendal is converted soon so it ceases to be that dreadful orange glow you see coming over Shap or going along the A591 bypass.
