Street Lighting schedule in Skegness - Find a freedom of information request

I have recently heard that the County Council has offered to return street lighting in Skegness to its previous schedule for £400,000 for twenty years – but without a formal contract to make this a legal obligation on your Council. Whatever the case I wish to ascertain what formal or informal offers have been made by the County Council to anyone about this matter.

Regarding: any formal or informal offers made by the County Council or its agents to restore the hours of street lighting in Skegness to the previous schedule immediately before the latest cuts.

Please respond to whichever one of the following questions you find it most convenient to reply to with regard to the matters set out above. You need not respond to both questions.

1. Please send me a summary information about these matters that may be brief but should cover
all points raised.

2. (Alternatively) – Please send me copies of all the records you possess (information held on computers, in emails and in printed or handwritten documents as well as images, video and audio recordings) about these matters.

1. Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) has publicised that communities may – through their local Parish or Town Council or equivalent – pay a one-off cost of £150 per light for them to be converted to all-night operation as part of routine maintenance, or £300 if done outside of routine maintenance. LCC have supplied information regarding the numbers of streetlights in Skegness to the Town Council, with calculations to give a total cost (based on the above figures) if these were all converted to all-night operation. LCC have not supplied a figure of £400,000.

As LCC have not received a request from Skegness Town Council or any other authority to convert lights to all night operation, LCC have not made any offer – formal or informal – to do so, beyond the generic offer made to all authorities in the County.
