Unfortunately, our budget is strictly for the maintenance, emergency, and energy costs of our existing assets and not for the repositioning of existing or the addition of new lighting installations. However, if the parish council were prepared to fund the initial installation /servicing costs and pay a commuted sum (this is an upfront sum to cover future maintenance costs) we would look into taking on future energy and maintenance costs for that installation as long as it is installed on the public highway and to our specification.
In rural areas, new lighting will only be provided in consultation with the local councils. A test will be whether it is necessary (for road safety or security reasons), affordable and sustainable
It may also be worth contacting Thames Valley Police to see if they would be prepared to fund the initial installation and servicing costs if this area is known as an accident ‘hotspot’ or if there are reports of anti-social behaviour in the area.
