    I think people are getting the wrong end of the stick.

    I am not being a NIMBY - I've signed contracts willingly without seeing a plan of the streetlights and I do not have a problem with the streetlighting per se. I am not seeking legal redress - just trying to understand my potential untold or unlearned responsibilities as a result of having this on my land so to speak.

    I don't think the light is in the most logical place, but that's not my problem.

    i'd be tempted to run the house power off the streetlight.

    Leave it where it is, and try not to dig up the cable.

    I think this was probably what led us to believe that you might be leaning that way:

    "A couple of our neighbours have expressed concern that it is on our boundary and the assistant site manager commented on that fact also whilst having a chat."
