Back in January a very clever gadget was installed on a post at the football field by the council. It's called H.I.S (Helicopter Engineering System) and it's an automatic lighting system connected to 4G and containing a box with a weather station, anemometer, lighting relay and camera.
Historically, the SAMU helicopter (helicopter ambulance) from Trousseau hospital landed on the football pitch. During the day that wasn't a serious problem, but at night the hospital had to call whoever was on duty in Preuilly to switch on the lights.
The new system gives the hospital (and I assume the pilot) a remote view of the area and real-time weather conditions. The hospital now turns on the lighting which can save a lot of time.
We intended writing about this at the time, but didn't have a photo. We're gradually catching up.
