Kent's "Safe and sensible street lighting" plan. Cough.
If you have a difficult policy, give it a name you can't disagree with. That seems to be the Kent County Council approach to streetlighting. Faced by trying to make savings (and reduce the number of lights they have to maintain) they have come up with a two stage policy of first turning off a lot of streetlights, and then secondly switching many more to part-time working so they would be turned off at midnight (or thereabouts) until pretty much dawn.
