Sunderland: scheme involves replacement of 70% of streetlightsPinsents and Tods Murray have staked an early claim on an expanding PFI niche after advising on a £163m project to modernise street lighting and highway signs for City of Sunderland Council.

This deal will see Sunderland council outsource the upgrade and maintenance of street lighting and highway signs for 25 years to SBB Street Lighting (Sunderland), which is sponsored by Balfour Beatty Capital Projects.
