ENERGY-efficient LED street lights are being installed in Calderdale in a £1 million programme of upgrades.

Calderdale Council says the new lights will save more than £15,000 a year in running costs.

The authority has been battling faulty streetlights, and a spokesman said thesewould be more reliable.

Councillor Peter Caffrey, said: “By investing in our lighting now, it should help reduce the number of faults in the future, reduce energy costs and improve reliability.”
