Will the lighting columns be going back in the same place or will they be repositioned?

In many circumstances the roads undergo a complete re-design to conform to the current British standards and therefore the positions of the columns must be changed. It is not always possible to integrate the existing column positions in the new design layout.

The new design parameters agreed by the council indicates that where possible we are to light the footpaths in addition to the carriageway, this means that the majority of the lighting columns where possible shall be positioned at the back of the footpath.

When the street light columns are removed and replaced, what will happen to the old equipment?

All lighting equipment that is removed will be dismantled and, where possible, recycled.
