Streetlight replacement scheme on Barkingside High Street

During the summer of 2008, Barkingside High Street received a street light replacement scheme to coincide with the installing of CCTV cameras. However, I can't see why this was necessary as CCTV cameras need "white" light to be able to give good colour rendition, but the light output on the older lamps was "white" anyway! The older lanterns were only installed in 2004, so they are still new! What a waste!
