Consultation process
The previous arrangements for applying for and approving applications for installing festive and Christmas lights in the highway have been reviewed. The views of the Council’s street lighting consultants, highway, legal and insurance teams have been sought in developing these proposals. Information on the processes followed by other authorities, especially in the south-west, has also been considered, together with the relevant codes of practice.
