A set of environmentally-friendly street lights has been unveiled near the bus garage in Hounslow.

The revolutionary lights, complete with wind turbines and solar panels, were installed on the central reservation in London Road. They are designed to generate electricity and help cut the borough's carbon emissions.

Councillor Barbara Reid, executive member for environment and planning said: "The council takes the issue of climate change very seriously, as its impact could be felt in the borough in the future.

"We are in the process of developing a climate change strategy to look at ways the council can promote and encourage sustainability.

"These new street lights are just one example of the small steps we can take to reduce the borough's energy consumption."
