The U.K. Green Investment Bank funded 8.2 million pounds ($12.8 million) for a council on the southeast coast for a program that will cut energy waste and boost the efficiency of its streetlights.
Southend-on-Sea Borough Council also received a 5.1 million-pound grant from the Department for Transport as part of the plan that will involve replacing streetlights and illuminated signs with energy-efficient alternatives, the Edinburgh-based bank said Tuesday in an e-mailed statement.
