City's street lights switched back on for safety

Half of a city's street lights will be switched back on after shift workers said they felt unsafe at night.

Many of Newport's lights were switched off in 2023 to save money, but the city's council has changed its mind, saying safety was a priority.

However, some councillors have expressed concerns about the cost and impact on the environment.

The council added it could take up to 15 months to restore the lights, as new equipment needed to be installed.
