Street lighting consultation

Oxfordshire County Council is consulting on a proposed Part-Night Lighting Implementation Framework.  You can find the consultation on ‘Let’s Talk Oxfordshire’ 

https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/pnl

The Consultation is running until midnight on Sunday 6th July.

What this consultation is about:

This framework is about how part-night lighting could be implemented in Oxfordshire. It is not about whether part-night lighting is right for specific areas. In September 2025, the council's cabinet will decide whether or not to move forward with part-night lighting. If the decision is to proceed, OCC is proposing that towns, parishes or Oxford city wards apply for part-night lighting schemes in their areas and that a public consultation is carried out for each scheme.

About the framework:

The draft part night lighting framework proposes to introduce part night lighting in Oxfordshire locations where:

  • it is requested by the local town or parish council/meeting, or local governance authorities
  • the part night lighting exemption criteria does not apply
  • local residents have been consulted via a public consultation, as well as stakeholders like the police, night economy employers and community groups
  • the part night lighting scheme is approved at Oxfordshire Council Council's Delegated Decision by Cabinet Member for Transport Management
