MORE new street lights are being installed in Hartlepool to give residents peace of mind.
Work starts in August to erect 170 new lampposts and lamps in the Owton and Rossmere areas.
They will be installed in Torquay, Berkeley and Mardale Avenues, Earlsferry and Eaglesfield Roads, and the F and G blocks of the Owton Manor Estate.
The improvements, which will take eight weeks to complete, have been developed following discussions that tookplace between the Owton Rossmere Single Regeneration Budget Partnership, Hartlepool Borough Council, the area's crime prevention officer and residents.
They are being funded by £100,000 from the Single Regeneration Budget programme and £20,000 from Hartlepool council.
