What we do - Street lighting

Conservation areas

Old or damaged street lights are usually replaced with standard ones.

For roads in conservation areas, we ask local councils for extra funds for non-standard lights. If funds are not available, we install standard lights.

We try to return heritage columns in good condition to the local council for reuse.

Standard street lights are not usually painted, except in conservation areas when they are painted black.
