Requested Mon 08 January 2024
Responded Fri 12 January 2024

Archipelagos Labs is currently looking at the distribution of streetlights across counties, cities and all sub-districts in the UK as part of a wider analysis of climate impact on energy usage in water and other utilities.

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to enquire about the following information relating to street light location data for council assets and any or sub-districts within your area. Please could you provide me with the street lighting location data for your area, preferably in a shapefile or other well-known formats so that these can be plotted.

I was unable to find this online for your county, borough or district, but it is available for other boroughs such as Camden and Sutton.

Please could you also provide:

1. The locations of streetlights or other powered infrastructure such as illuminated road signs et al in a commonly used format such as CSV and include the geospatial detail of latitude and longitude or similar.

2. An indication if any external third parties are utilising this infrastructure within Elexon guidelines or otherwise.

3. How many streetlights have been changed to LEDs?

4. The annual cost for running the streetlights.

Response

Information not held.

Street lighting is dealt with by East Sussex County Council, please visit their website for further information:
