Cheshire East Council plans to switch off some street lights to save energy and £450,000 a year.
But bosses say assessments will be done because some options carry a greater risk of falls and traffic collisions.
Cheshire Police has launched an operation to tackle the number of motorcycle related collisions on the county′s roads.
The week of action from Monday August 27 to Sunday September 2 is aimed at reducing the number of serious and fatal collisions involving motorcyclists.
Police are targeting South Cheshire drivers who breach the ‘fatal four’ causes of collisions in a week-long operation.
The “Fatal Four” campaign, between September 12-18, will target drivers who drink and drug drive, drive at excessive speed, do not wear seatbelts or misuse technology while driving.
