Lights to go out in Seaton
Money-saving exercise proposed.
THE lights could go out on Seaton – if a policy for part-night street lighting gets the go-ahead.
Devon County Council plans to change the hours streetlights are on, from all-night long to lights going off at 12.30am and coming back on at 5.30am.
Seaton Town Council discussed the proposal at its August meeting on Monday night.
