Part-Night Lighting Public Consultation
Published: 13 June 2025
The public consultation on the proposed Part-Night Lighting Implementation Framework is now live on ‘Let’s Talk Oxfordshire’ Part-night lighting and street lighting policy | Let's Talk Oxfordshire
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, we are 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
OCC want to hear back from Parish’s and Town Council’s on their views and comments on the proposed Part-Night Lighting Implementation Framework, as if approved, then Parish and Town Council’s would be able apply for part-night lighting schemes in their areas.
