Location data of ECDC street lighting
Request received 30 July 2026
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request a copy of the lighting asset location data held by your authority.
Specifically, I request:
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.
4. 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).
