They debated this down here in Warwickshire, most of the borough did seperately, North Warwicks, Nuneaton, rugby, and all voted against it. It was decided it was too dangerous and would be unpopular. The council is risking claims if properties get broken into, there's accidents with people or even cars.
We did of course have lights that went out at 12 and came back on at 6 up until about 15 years ago. They all eventually got photocells put on which replaced the timers and thus the need to go round twice a year and reset the clocks.
