Lighting
There are more than 14,000 lighting points within the City.
These include street lights, traffic signs, bollards and all
illuminated street furniture. Services are also provided for public
car parks, conveniences, and the river bridges. In addition, many
of the City’s famous public buildings and open spaces are
floodlit.
Working in partnership with our contractor, FM Conway, and using
a computerised street lighting database system, each lighting point
is visually inspected once a week for correct operation. Faults are
either repaired immediately, or electronically passed to the day
crews for attention. The average time taken to repair a fault,
within the City’s scope, is less than three days.
