Stevenage Borough Council has launched a solar lighting trial at a small section of Fairlands Valley Park to enhance the safety of people passing through the area after dark and twilight.

Following feedback from the community, the solar lights have been installed to provide a safer through-route, whilst being sensitive to local wildlife. The improved lighting also encourages greater use of parks during evening hours, supporting active travel, wellbeing and community use of green spaces.

The lights are located along a section of path next to the Stevenage Cycling Hub and model boat pond, running from north to south.

The lighting trial will run until late September 2026 and we are looking for feedback from you and the wider community over this period.

You can have you say using the button below until 10 October 2026.
