Street Lighting Policy

Any additional structural load imposed on a lighting column, including signs, banners, festive decorations and catenary wires increases the risk of failure. As such all applications to place an attachment onto a lighting column must be individually assessed to ensure that its safety and structural integrity is not compromised.

Depending on the attachment and lighting column a structural survey may be necessary at the requestors expense. Please refer to the Council's Street Lighting Engineer for guidance.
