Apply to attach seasonal decorations or attachments on streetlight columns
Doncaster Council do not offer as part of its standard street lighting service provision connections for festive lighting displays or attachments for banners. However the Council has no objections to applications for equipment to be considered for this purpose as long as the applicant follows the following steps and understands the on-going maintenance requirements which will need funding for the life of the installation.
Steps 6 and 7 do not apply for Non-Christmas related attachments, however for non-Christmas assets requiring electrical connection such as CCTV, Signage and sensors, a valid and current Elexon UMSUG Chargecode will be required prior to applying details of these can be found here: Elexon Unmetered Chargecode Information
