Lighting Asset Location Data (FOI/8367)

Message from Nottinghamshire County Council - 31 July 2026

Dear ********* ******

Request FOI/8367

I write further to your request for information received on 29/07/2026 in your email you requested the following:

1. The geographic location of lighting assets maintained by your authority.
2. Coordinates for each asset, preferably as latitude and longitude, although alternative coordinate systems (e.g. British National Grid Easting/Northing) would also be acceptable.
3. Any unique asset identifier associated with each light, where available.
. The date or timeframe in which the data was last updated or collected.
5. Where available, information on the operational hours of the lighting asset (for example, dusk-to-dawn operation, part-night lighting schedules, or other programmed operating times).
6. Where available, information on the height, lighting type, or asset classification (e.g. LED lantern, column height, bollard lighting, floodlighting, or other recorded asset characteristics).

I appreciate that the information requested in points 5 and 6 may not be held for all assets. Where these data are available, I would be grateful if they could be included alongside the location data.

Your request has been given careful consideration under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 and unfortunately, the information requested has been withheld. I have set out the reasons for this decision below:

The Council interprets your request as relating to highway street lighting assets maintained by Nottinghamshire County Council.

We note that substantially similar information has previously been disclosed and published on the Council"s Disclosure Log under FOI/6005 (Street Light Inventory), FOI/5901 (Streetlights within Nottinghamshire), FOI/5735 (street lighting columns) and FOI/5599 (Streetlight inventory Nottinghamshire).

If your request extends to other categories of lighting assets (for example lighting within parks, floodlighting, illuminated signs, bollards, or traffic signal equipment) and is not covered in the above please provide the specific details and we will look to establish what information we hold, Your request also refers to parks and greenspaces. Nottinghamshire County Council is generally responsible for highway street lighting, whereas lighting within parks and open spaces may be owned and maintained by district or borough councils, parish councils, or other organisations.

The district and borough councils and the city council will hold this information. You may have contacted these councils already in connection with your request, but if not, their contact details are below:
