A street lighting upgrade scheme has been completed in Coventry.
A total of £55 million has been invested in the 'Lighting Coventry' project which has taken over five years to complete.
Construction firm Balfour Beatty carried out the works which included thousands of lighting column types replaced with modernised alternatives within various wards of the city.
The project saw over 25,000 new lighting columns installed as well as a further 11,500 lights for signs and bollards replaced with energy efficient alternatives. The works have brought the city's lighting system up to current British and European standards.
Amanda Fisher, Managing Director for Balfour Beatty Living Places said: "Coventry can now enjoy the benefits of the work which include a reduction in the city’s emissions by 38%, savings on energy costs and creating a safer and more pleasant environment for everyone."
