Dear Benjamin
I refer to your Freedom of Information request to which I am now able to
respond on behalf of South Norfolk Council.
My response is attached above for data on Street lights currently
maintained by South Norfolk Council, your request for lights locations in
your preferred format is something we are unable to provide. We do not
hold data for street lighting locations for years 2010 and 2014.
I hope this is of assistance and is sufficient to meet your requirements,
but if, for whatever reason you wish to get back to me, please feel free
to do so. If you are unhappy with the information provided or how your
request was handled, please let me know and I will explain how you can
request an internal review of our decision.

request.
Regards.
