Shropshire Council has received a boost in its effort to improve the county’s traffic lights, and to save money and carbon by reducing the amount of power that they use.
The council has been awarded £250,000 through the Government’s Traffic Signals Maintenance Specific Grant – which will speed up its traffic signals refurbishment programme over the next two years.
Steve Charmley, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member with responsibility for highways, said: “This is excellent news for Shropshire and will help to ensure that we have better, more reliable traffic lights, but also help to save the council money, and reduce the carbon emissions that result from traffic light usage and maintenance. It also means that we will achieve our carbon reduction and improved air quality targets more quickly. So, it’s good news for the council, for all road users, and for the environment.”
