CONTROVERSIAL plans to switch off streetlights and plunge Castle Point into darkness have been postponed again.
The lights in streets across Benfleet, Hadleigh and Canvey were set to be turned off between midnight and 5am from today as part of Essex County Council’s part-night lighting scheme.
Now County Hall has put back the move to January 12 as engineers are still programming the streetlights with their new times.
