Improving energy efficiency 

More than 1300 fluorescent lights and around 100 standard lights were replaced with energy efficient LED versions throughout Main Square Car Park in 2019. Movement sensors were also installed to reduce energy wastage. 

All external lighting in parks are currently LED.
