Which I'm surprised you're against - as it surely means the taxpayer pays less (even if they do contribute something - less than paying to run a service in its entirety - to the enhanced BSOG payments)?!

I'll ask you the same question I asked Malarkey earlier on. 
Do they not have enough opportunities to make their money during the day?

If they did make their money during the day, then surely any losses or drop in revenue would be mitigated. Ensuring the viablity of evening runs - regardless of the age of the Streetlite operating the runs.
