Prince Albert city councillors are enthusiastic about a potential program that would allow residents to purchase motion sensor lights at a reduced cost.
Coun. Dennis Nowoselsky who initially brought the idea to council in January was inspired by a similar initiative in North Battleford.
On Tuesday night, he told the meeting better lighting was a simple and low-cost way to reduce crime. Partnering with a local retailer to provide the lights at-cost would be especially helpful for seniors and low-income people, he continued.
“We’re talking about crime prevention, one of the biggest issues in this community is addicts stealing and theft,” Nowoselsky said. “This is a way to improve it.”
