Attachments to street lights

You need a licence to attach something to a street light owned by us.

We need to make sure the columns are structurally sound and able to take the weight or size of the attachment. We also check that the attachments are correctly installed and that the person installing the attachment is from a reputable company.

Attachments could include:

• signs
• cameras
• festive lighting
• aerials
• timetables
• hanging baskets
• flags
• banners.

Apply for a streetlight attachment permit.

Commercial advertising on the highway is prohibited so we will not authorise any form of advertising being placed on columns that are owned by us.
