Elmbank 01 was the first out of the 3 to die off. The bulb had gone totally black, similar to one around the corner which still hasn't been replaced 3 years after failing. Elmbank 02 is in an awkward position, hence why it still remains. Elmbank 03 suffered a similar fate to Elmbank 01, in which the bulb ran out of juice and half of the bulb went black.

Newstead Drive 01 was an interesting lamp to observe. For a long period of time it stopped working, but to my surprise it suddenly started working again (unless it had been fixed, which is unlikely in this town as they just replace them). However, the bulb has now ran out of juice.
Warwick Road 01 and 02 both reached End of Life stage and have since been dug out and replaced with grey steel poles with TRT Aspect Mini's.

Both of these colums have now been replaced with dark grey steel columns with post-top TRT Aspect Mini's.
ME RD 01 did not need replacing since the light still worked however ME RD 02 was end of life.
It's possible there was major structual defects in the concrete columns that could have warranted replacement, but I believe it's due to the fact it is adjacent to a fully LED road.
