Municipality of #Westland trying to make savings in the dark?
The Municipality of Westland has decided to only have street lighting in the rural areas where this benefits safety. I am very much in favor of cutbacks where possible, but this produces a very dark picture for us. Left towards the built area, where ample lighting is still on. It is dark with us, but to the right a lamp burns now and then. Is the traffic at our house safer than there? Pedestrians, cyclists and freight traffic use the same space over the entire length (and 3m width…)!
Left... towards the village
Right... into the distance

Update October 2012: The policy was reversed.
