Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request a copy of the lighting asset location data held by your authority. The data will be used to improve the quality and coverage of lighting information in and nearby parks and greenspace within the Safer Parks Dashboard, a research-led tool developed to support implementation of the Safer Parks guidance.

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).

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.

In addition, I would be grateful if you could confirm:

• Whether the data can be shared under the Open Government Licence (OGL); and
• If not, the licence, copyright, or reuse conditions that apply to the data.

My preference is for the data to be made available under the Open Government Licence (OGL) to support its reuse for research and public-interest purposes.
