New for December 2007

A warm welcome to Midland Counties Street Lighting; my little bit of cyberspace dedicated to streetlighting, but with the main focus being on street lighting in the Midland Counties region of the UK. This is the new home of MCSL, the move being necessitated because the Site had out grown its allocated free space with its previous host 50Webs,com. Now with its own dedicated domain, MCSL can hopefully continue to develop and expand. Thank you for your continued support.
