How many streetlights does your council operate as of 1 April 2021?
Total number of streetlights owned and maintained by Devon County Council – 79,270
How many streetlights did your council operate as of 1 April 2018?
Devon County Council does not record this data in a manner that can be easily extracted from our systems. We estimate that it would take greater than the 18 hours that the Council is obliged to spend answering a freedom of information request to provide a response to this question. As such, we consider that Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 applies.
Under the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004 public authorities are not obliged to comply with requests which exceed the cost limit of £450 (equating to 18 hours of time).
However, by way of assistance we believe the figure to be approximately 500 less
