Lights costing tens of thousand pounds installed along Clevedon seafront are being re-set - after they starting switching on in broad daylight. North Somerset Council spent £80,000 on the strings of new lights along the seafront as part of a new programme.
But locals have been noticing that often only one of the strings of lights is illuminated at night, with other sections along the prom remaining in the dark. Other residents have said the lights have been coming on in the day - in bright sunlight, reports Somerset Live.
North Somerset Council has admitted a problem occurred with the timers on the new lights, which it hopes is now rectified. A spokesman said: “The new lights have been installed as part of our lighting replacement programme.
