Local Government Act 1974

Supply of energy - Supply of energy by territorial authorities

519: Territorial authority may light roads, etc, with energy

You could also call this:

"Councils can choose to light roads and public areas using energy."

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

A territorial authority can decide to light roads and other areas using energy. You might wonder what kind of energy they can use, but the law does not specify. The law used to say that territorial authorities could do this, but it was repealed on 7 October 1994 by section 89(2) of the Energy Companies Act 1992.
