Here comes the lightA new lighting scheme worth almost £1 million kicked off in the East Peckham and Nunhead renewal areas on January 22 2008.
The scheme, funded by the housing renewal team, is part of the council's overall strategy to reduce crime and fear of crime, and address environmental issues by improving neighbourhoods and lives of Southwark's residents.
 Installation of new street lights has already started with Bath Close having new twin lanterns fitted already.
First phase of works is being delivered to public walkways on and around estates
- Torridge Gardens
- Rye Hill Estate
- 69 to 91 Meeting House Lane
- Dunstall House
- Bells Gardens
Disruptions to residents' everyday lives will be minimal to none and the installation of lamps in this first stage will take about eight weeks.
Works are delivered by the council's street and metalwork services section who will also maintain them in the future.
The new lighting will minimise light pollution and will have an immediate impact on the local environment, hopefully reducing the fear of crime and making a difference in terms of community safety.
