Streetlight upgrade at Market Yard Car Park

We have recently installed two new streetlights at Market Yard Car Park as part of our ongoing streetlight replacement programme. The light at the High Street entrance will also be upgraded soon.

The upgraded LED lights and new columns are more energy-efficient and cost-effective, replacing older metal and concrete columns. This year’s budget of £45,000 is helping us modernise and brighten our community streets for everyone’s safety.

Edenbridge Town Council streetlights can be identified by a number 0-247 on the column. Streetlights that are managed by Kent Council have letters and numbers.

Edenbridge is electric! Charge your car at Market Yard Car Park

Four 7kWh charging points for electric vehicles are now available for use at Market Yard Car Park, Edenbridge.  

The Town Council is delighted to be part of a partnership project through Kent Parish Networks to install charge-points, with funding from Kent County Council, a government grant and a contribution from the Town Council CIL funds (money we have received from developers.)

As one of the car parks the Town Council owns, Edenbridge councillors identified Market Yard as a suitable site to install the charge-points. The electric points are slow-charging – ideal for residents or visitors wanting to top up their charge, or for those wanting to charge a full battery overnight. It’s great to see that some residents and visitors have already been using the chargers, which went live mid-January.

The cost per kWh for users is 50p and the charge speed is 7kWh per hour. Payment is through a mobile app, which users can access by scanning a QR code.
