Request

I am writing to submit a Freedom of Information request for data on the location of all street lights maintained by the council. Specifically, I would like to obtain: 

- The most recent available data on street lighting locations. Please provide the total number of streetlights maintained by the council and the actual location of these lights (the latter in Shapefile, KML, and/or GeoJSON format). 

- Data on street lighting locations from 2014. Please provide the total number of streetlights maintained by the council and the actual location of these lights (the latter in Shapefile, KML, and/or GeoJSON format). 

- Data on street lighting locations from 2010. Please provide the total number of streetlights maintained by the council and the actual location of these lights (the latter in Shapefile, KML, and/or GeoJSON format).

Response

The Council only holds two inventories of street lighting.  The Council does not hold this data in any of the formats you have requested.  The first attachment (part 1) was provided to the District Council by Kent County Council (KCC) when our lights were being managed externally by KCC.  The second attachment (part 2) is the current version post-LED conversion.  These lights are now managed directly by the District Council.  Please note that the majority of the streetlights within our District are the responsibility of Kent County Council who are the highway authority.  They can be contacted for details of the streetlights they own and maintain in our District at freedomofinformation@kent.gov.uk.
