Use light to power lights

Letter: We all hear about the council having cut-backs to save money for this, or cut-backs to save money for that, well here's an idea they could try out.

Instead of having to spend money on turning the street lights on and off, even keeping some in the dark all the time, why not have solar lights fitted to the street lamps.

Then they will be cost-effective as the sun keeps them charged up, no more bills for the council and it would save us money.
