Midnight most nights, 1am on Saturday and bank holidays.
My new neighbours across the road, leave their outside light on all night, which is very nice of them.
Would be total darkness here otherwise.
The drug dealers emerge when the lights go out..
Similar around my area too, I recall something about turning street lighting off late at night to save energy etc.
I live in a small cul-de-sac and there is one lamppost in it and as far as I know it stays on all night.
They could turn it off as the amount of security on the houses if someone is 5 yards from any house cameras roll and security lights come on.
The rest of the area to be honest I don't know if they do go off or not, I have never noticed.
