The Vale of Glamorgan Council will be installing LED bulbs to streetlights on Cliff Hill as a temporary solution while a more traditional design is produced.

Several lights along the pavement accessing The Esplanade have become damaged or stopped working and need to be replaced immediately for safety reasons.

As a temporary solution, a generic LED bulb and lantern have been fitted until specialist ones are manufactured and fitted to match the existing ornamental columns.

The bespoke bulbs and lanterns will replicate the design of the existing lanterns and should be ready for installation in the next few months.

Cllr Peter King, cabinet member for Neighbourhood Services and Transport, said: "We have sourced specially-designed LED bulbs and lanterns in keeping with the distinct look and feel of these particular lighting columns.

"However, it will take time for these to be produced and adjustments might also need to be made to the columns before they are fitted.

Mr King continued: "In the meantime, other standard LED bulbs and lanterns have already been fitted to these columns to make sure the area is adequately lit.

"Both these temporary and permanent LED fittings are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than more traditional bulbs. Using them further emphasises the Council's Project Zero commitment, which aims to make the organisation carbon neutral by 2030."
