Street lighting along Ipswich Waterfront is set to be extended towards DanceEast in a £40,860 upgrade. The project will continue previous improvements made at Albion Wharf, Neptune Marina Apartments and Anchor Street Apartments.
The big picture: The lighting extension is part of Suffolk County Council's £2 million Ipswich Investment Fund, which is supporting 13 projects across the town.
Key features of the upgrade: The project builds on earlier improvements made by Suffolk Streetlighting along the Waterfront area, ensuring consistent lighting design along this popular route. The new improvements include:
New street lighting columns
Contemporary LED lanterns
Black finish to match existing design
Energy-efficient lighting technology
Low-energy LED technology will be used throughout, helping to reduce energy consumption while providing better illumination for pedestrians and residents.
What they’re saying: Cllr Paul West, Suffolk County Council's cabinet member for Ipswich, operational highways and flooding, said: "Our driving force behind this fund has focussed on the council's key objectives to improve the health and wellbeing of our residents and to strengthen our local economy."
The bottom line: The upgrade will improve safety and visibility along the Waterfront while maintaining the area's contemporary appearance.
