The Chief Officer (Streetscene and Transportation) introduced a report to seek a recommendation from the Committee to Cabinet to approve the Council’s revised Street Lighting Policy.  He provided background information and referred to the changes to the existing Policy which were summarised in the report.   

The Chief Officer introduced Darrell Jones, Street Lighting Manager, and invited him to give a presentation on the review of the Council’s Street Lighting Policy.  The main points of the presentation were around the proposed amendments and the summary and outcome of recent workshops.

Councillor Ray Hughes referred to the repair/attendance timeframe and asked that Councillors be kept informed so that they could respond to the queries raised by residents.  The Street Lighting Manager advised there was already a process in place which should ensure that Councillors were being kept informed and he asked that Members make him aware of any local issues which arose.

Councillor Haydn Bateman asked what consultation would take place with regard to determining sensitive areas.  The Street Lighting Manager advised that the areas would be determined in consultation with the Local Councillors, Town and Community Councils, and the blue light services. 

RESOLVED:

That the Committee recommends approval of the Council’s revised Street

Lighting Policy to Cabinet with the recommendations as noted in the
