Policy and strategy
Our principles and standards for the street lighting are set out in our policy below. This policy is to be used by developers where street lighting is required for new highway and property developments.
Our central management system allows us to dim the brightness of street lighting across the borough. Where street lighting equipment allows, lighting levels will be dimmed as follows.
| Area | Times | Dimming |
|---|---|---|
| Strategic road network junctions | All operating hours | 30% dimmed |
| Local road network | Dusk to midnight | 30% dimmed |
| Midnight to 5am | 50% dimmed | |
| 5am to daylight | 30% dimmed | |
| Controlled crossings and subways | All operating hours | Unaffected |
Our street lighting central management system strategy is set out in document below.
